Download or read book River with No Bridge written by Sue Sumii and published by Tuttle Publishing. This book was released on 2011-12-27 with total page 379 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The River With No Bridge (Hashi no nai kawa) explores with outspoken frankness a subject still taboo in Japan: the intolerance and bigotry faced daily by Japan’s largest minority group, the burakumin. Racially no different from other Japanese, over the centuries burakumin have been cruelly ostracized for their association with occupations considered defiling. Spanning the years 1908 to 1924, the original six volumes of this novel trace the developing awareness of burakumin of their rights and dignity as human beings. Volume 1, translated into English for the first time in 1990, is a story about childhood in a burakumin village. It tells of young Koji Hatana’s questioning of the rigid social order and his growing sense of injustice as he meets prejudice from other children at school and from his teachers who try to instill in him their belief that since he was born defiled he should resign himself to his fate. Told against the backdrop of Japan’s struggle to shed its feudalistic past and enter the modern age, the novel is a courageous work and a compelling read.
Book Synopsis No Bridge Left Unburned by : M.A.Townsend
Download or read book No Bridge Left Unburned written by M.A.Townsend and published by FriesenPress. This book was released on 2015-07-07 with total page 257 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The atrocities of war take five Canadian men to the darkest, most dangerous quadrant in the world, as the American led coalition continues its fight against the war on terror. Along with the CIA, Wolf Team Foxtrot begin their assault in Afghanistan, taking fighting strategies to a new level of combat. Now a perfectly tuned Sniper/Assault Black Ops Unit, they are an elite fighting force, yet after witnessing the horrors of war, they too are in danger of suffering the same post traumatic stress disorders that they have seen from others in the past. Used by the most powerful manipulators in America, the men find themselves in different, however, just as dangerous settings of the globe. While in the underbelly of Berlin, London, Amsterdam and Yuma AZ, they must use all their skills if they are to endure the tyranny and danger that exists for each one of them. Their ultimate survival may depend on the Native Spirituality of the leader of Wolf Team Foxtrot. No Bridge Left Unburned is a powerful and disturbing story that describes the true horrors of war. Delivered with atmosphere and tension, questions are raised why politicians make the decisions to get involved in the conflict of war, and supported by citizens who give little credence to the consequences of their decisions. With an absorbing plot and compelling narrative, the author's words will spur the reader to question more, perhaps feeling the need to accept less, and therefore become involved in the dialogue that ends in decisions for conflict resulting in bloodshed.

She anticipates achieving the respectability and security denied her as a tinker's daughter in Ireland. Instead, she experiences tragedy, disgrace, and redemption. Three men love her: her husband who dies in a mine explosion; the secretive gambler who abandons her, leaving her pregnant; and half-Chinese Jim Li who becomes her life partner despite prejudice against them. In the course of her life, Nora survives her daughter's death, relinquishes her son, homesteads in the wilderness, and raises a Blackfeet girl. She learns to cherish the beauty and healing power of nature surrounding the North Fork of the Flathead River. "--

Book excerpt: From the author of the “full-throttle thriller” (A. J. Finn) No Exit—a riveting new psychological page-turner featuring a fierce and unforgettable heroine. Three months ago, Lena Nguyen’s estranged twin sister, Cambry, drove to a remote bridge seventy miles outside of Missoula, Montana, and jumped two hundred feet to her death. At least, that is the official police version. But Lena isn’t buying it. Now she’s come to that very bridge, driving her dead twin’s car and armed with a cassette recorder, determined to find out what really happened by interviewing the highway patrolman who allegedly discovered her sister’s body. Corporal Raymond Raycevic has agreed to meet Lena at the scene. He is sympathetic, forthright, and professional. But his story still seems a bit off. For one thing, he stopped Cambry for speeding just an hour before she supposedly leaped to her death. Then there are the sixteen attempted 911 calls from her cell phone, made in what was unfortunately a dead zone. But perhaps most troubling of all, the state trooper is referred to by name in Cambry’s final enigmatic text to her sister: Please Forgive Me. Lena will do anything to uncover the truth. But as her twin’s final hours come into focus, Lena’s search turns into a harrowing tooth-and-nail fight for her own survival—one that will test everything she thought she knew about her sister and herself...

Book excerpt: "Readers will be captivated by this beautifully written novel about young people who must use their instincts and grit to survive. Padma infuses her story with hope and bravery that will inspire readers."--Aisha Saeed, author of the New York Times Bestseller Amal Unbound Four determined homeless children make a life for themselves in Padma Venkatraman's stirring middle-grade debut. Life is harsh on the teeming streets of Chennai, India, so when runaway sisters Viji and Rukku arrive, their prospects look grim. Very quickly, eleven-year-old Viji discovers how vulnerable they are in this uncaring, dangerous world. Fortunately, the girls find shelter--and friendship--on an abandoned bridge that's also the hideout of Muthi and Arul, two homeless boys, and the four of them soon form a family of sorts. And while making their living scavenging the city's trash heaps is the pits, the kids find plenty to take pride in, too. After all, they are now the bosses of themselves and no longer dependent on untrustworthy adults. But when illness strikes, Viji must decide whether to risk seeking help from strangers or to keep holding on to their fragile, hard-fought freedom.
Book Synopsis Antiquity's Covered Bridge by : Dorine Emery
Download or read book Antiquity's Covered Bridge written by Dorine Emery and published by Dorrance Publishing. This book was released on 2021-12-27 with total page 260 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Antiquity's Covered Bridge By: Dorine Emery Dorine Emery is an avid photographer of covered bridges. She began in her local area in New Jersey but knew the LC Beavens bridge in New Milford, Pennsylvania, was a must-see. It was Emery’s fascination with the mountain that rises to the east of Mylert Creek and the bridge she knew was there that led her to Antiquity’s Covered Bridge. History and imagination are woven like the ivy vines on a latticed bridge, facts and fiction which Emery has found on and around the Nevermore area of New Milford. Fiction based on facts, then enhanced by pseudo possibilities might describe mystery within. Not without humor—it is Nevermore who owns Antiquity’s bridge, nor without tragedy—that of Janie’s sorrow over her dear Andrew and their baby, Cheri, Antiquity’s Covered Bridge is a story to be pondered at a moderate pace.
