A memoir of a young girl's escape from North Korea. I have never understood how people can just accept living under such conditions until I read this book. It makes so much more sense now. And I can see this happening here on our soil if we aren't careful. Excellent, informative book. Highly recommend

This novel is about Li-yan; her life as an Akha in the rural mountains of China, then her hardships and successes after she leaves her village. Alternate chapters introduce us to Haley, a Chinese orphan adopted by a Californian couple. Tea and its cultivation is the theme that ties and binds these two womens' stories. Exceptional. Highly recommend. And brew some tea while reading!

This is a psycho thriller written by an author who resides in Scotland. A young man runs a couple off the road resulting in the wife's death; his descent into insanity where his father has lived for years. Not bad once you get the hang of the Scottish version of certain words and realize they aren't misspelled.
