A handsome all-American husband who is the heir apparent to a 150-year-old family fortune, a mansion that is the envy of everyone in town, the promise of a life of leisure, and a family that accepts her humble roots. Sara quietly asks her husband to take her to visit her mother, a hundred miles away, for a Mother's Day celebration. A tragic accident changes everything. Although Sara emerges from the accident unscathed, her husband, Todd Whitecliff, suffers serious brain injuries and is in the intensive care ward in a coma. Twelve thousand miles away, at the exact same time, a young soldier, Sergeant Phil Ward, on a special operations assignment, comes face-to-face with an enemy that has overrun his base camp. During the chaos of the battle, Phil struggles to find the courage to face the fear that his life might soon end. His life is spared when another soldier comes between him and a mortar round explosion. Phil uses the recall of his father's WWII war stories to help him find the courage to fight on and survive the night. A chance meeting one year later brings Sara and Phil together, and a friendship emerges. When the two discover the coincidence of the timing of their individual traumatic events, a bond is developed that builds into a passionate romance. When Sara's mother-in-law discovers the romance, she applies the full force of the Whitecliff family fortune to destroy the lives of both Sara and Phil. The couple is viciously torn apart and must face their many individual life lessons with an empty longing in their hearts. They embark on separate missions to find meaning in their lives, right the wrongs of the past, and maintain hope for a second chance to keep their life stories from becoming a whisper in the wind. After thirty years, a second chance emerges, and the fireworks begin.

America in 1982: Japanese car companies are on the rise and believed to be putting U.S. autoworkers out of their jobs. Anti–Asian American sentiment simmers, especially in Detroit. A bar fight turns fatal, leaving a Chinese American man, Vincent Chin, beaten to death at the hands of two white men, autoworker Ronald Ebens and his stepson, Michael Nitz. Paula Yoo has crafted a searing examination of the killing and the trial and verdicts that followed. When Ebens and Nitz pled guilty to manslaughter and received only a $3,000 fine and three years’ probation, the lenient sentence sparked outrage. The protests that followed led to a federal civil rights trial—the first involving a crime against an Asian American—and galvanized what came to be known as the Asian American movement. Extensively researched from court transcripts, contemporary news accounts, and in-person interviews with key participants, From a Whisper to a Rallying Cry is a suspenseful, nuanced, and authoritative portrait of a pivotal moment in civil rights history, and a man who became a symbol against hatred and racism.

Book excerpt: Ramona Rain "Rainey" Moses has known that she is different since her first day of school. A quiet, introverted, and brilliant young woman, she excels in school and in college. But the bullying and misperceptions that taint her everyday life have grown to be more than she can stand, so diploma in hand, she returns to her beloved home in the beautiful Blue Ridge Mountains to build a new life for herself. There, cloaked in solitude and her mysterious mountain ways, she carefully gathers a small community of like-minded mountain folk. Together, they form a new kind of family, safe and strong in the wilderness. But despite Rainey's best attempts to protect them from the terrors of the outside world, strangers occasionally wander into her secretive world-and she deals with these unfortunate intruders accordingly. And on the day when four men with evil intentions attack the camp, they soon learn that even though they have eluded the police, there is no hope for escape from justice-this time, at Rainey's hands. In the mountains, they will soon learn that there are fates worse than prison-and even worse than death. When the sun goes down in the deep, wild mountains, everything you thought you knew becomes a deadly mystery. Rainey and her friends will do what it takes to protect their own, and legend has it that the haint who terrorizes locals is actually one of her strange new kin-or is it something even more sinister?
