Book excerpt: "Sentimental, heartfelt….the exploration of Henry’s changing relationship with his family and with Keiko will keep most readers turning pages...A timely debut that not only reminds readers of a shameful episode in American history, but cautions us to examine the present and take heed we don’t repeat those injustices."-- Kirkus Reviews “A tender and satisfying novel set in a time and a place lost forever, Hotel on the Corner of Bitter and Sweet gives us a glimpse of the damage that is caused by war--not the sweeping damage of the battlefield, but the cold, cruel damage to the hearts and humanity of individual people. Especially relevant in today's world, this is a beautifully written book that will make you think. And, more importantly, it will make you feel." -- Garth Stein, New York Times bestselling author of The Art of Racing in the Rain “Jamie Ford's first novel explores the age-old conflicts between father and son, the beauty and sadness of what happened to Japanese Americans in the Seattle area during World War II, and the depths and longing of deep-heart love. An impressive, bitter, and sweet debut.” -- Lisa See, bestselling author of Snow Flower and the Secret Fan In the opening pages of Jamie Ford’s stunning debut novel, Hotel on the Corner of Bitter and Sweet, Henry Lee comes upon a crowd gathered outside the Panama Hotel, once the gateway to Seattle’s Japantown. It has been boarded up for decades, but now the new owner has made an incredible discovery: the belongings of Japanese families, left when they were rounded up and sent to internment camps during World War II. As Henry looks on, the owner opens a Japanese parasol. This simple act takes old Henry Lee back to the 1940s, at the height of the war, when young Henry’s world is a jumble of confusion and excitement, and to his father, who is obsessed with the war in China and having Henry grow up American. While “scholarshipping” at the exclusive Rainier Elementary, where the white kids ignore him, Henry meets Keiko Okabe, a young Japanese American student. Amid the chaos of blackouts, curfews, and FBI raids, Henry and Keiko forge a bond of friendship–and innocent love–that transcends the long-standing prejudices of their Old World ancestors. And after Keiko and her family are swept up in the evacuations to the internment camps, she and Henry are left only with the hope that the war will end, and that their promise to each other will be kept. Forty years later, Henry Lee is certain that the parasol belonged to Keiko. In the hotel’s dark dusty basement he begins looking for signs of the Okabe family’s belongings and for a long-lost object whose value he cannot begin to measure. Now a widower, Henry is still trying to find his voice–words that might explain the actions of his nationalistic father; words that might bridge the gap between him and his modern, Chinese American son; words that might help him confront the choices he made many years ago. Set during one of the most conflicted and volatile times in American history, Hotel on the Corner of Bitter and Sweet is an extraordinary story of commitment and enduring hope. In Henry and Keiko, Jamie Ford has created an unforgettable duo whose story teaches us of the power of forgiveness and the human heart. BONUS: This edition contains a Hotel on the Corner of Bitter and Sweet discussion guide and an excerpt from Jamie Ford's Love and Other Consolation Prizes.

Book excerpt: When Annie Jacobson's brother Mike enlists as a medic in the Army in 1967, he hands her a piece of paper with the address of their long-estranged father. If anything should happen to him in Vietnam, Mike says, Annie must let their father know. In Mike's absence, their father returns to face tragedy at home, adding an extra measure of complication to an already tense time. As they work toward healing and pray fervently for Mike's safety overseas, letter by letter the Jacobsons must find a way to pull together as a family, regardless of past hurts. In the tumult of this time, Annie and her family grapple with the tension of holding both hope and grief in the same hand, even as they learn to turn to the One who binds the wounds of the brokenhearted. Author Susie Finkbeiner invites you into the Jacobson family's home and hearts during a time in which the chaos of the outside world touched their small community in ways they never imagined. "Finkbeiner's characters believably navigate the emotional upheaval of war, and she skillfully depicts how the Jacobson's slowly open up to one another, emerging with greater strength, faith, and mutual respect."--Publishers Weekly "The small-town experience and connect readers deeply to characters who cry, cringe, and are, ultimately, able to rest assured that all will be well."--Booklist, starred review "Susie Finkbeiner's new novel captures that fraught time with beauty and gentleness. . . . A beautiful, arresting novel."--The Banner

Download or read book Cosmology of Light written by Pravir Malik and published by Deep Order Technologies. This book was released on 2018-02-14 with total page 293 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is about Light. It is a story of Light from an apparent beginning to the present, and then also a story of that condition that transcends Time and is hence beginning-less. But it is more too. It is a book about the central place of Light in all things. Being so, it is a cosmology – it suggests a nature of the universe – in which all that is, is of Light. Hence this book describes a Cosmology of Light. But the medium chosen to express this nature is mathematics. Specifically, as will be discovered there is a particular symmetrical “function-based” mathematics that is formulated to express the nature of cosmos. The starting point is Light itself, and all that is seen to exist is as a play of Light. Hence, Light is presumed to exist in some native state characterized by an infinite speed. It chooses or experiments to project its fundamental nature at some reduced speed that is experienced as ‘c’, 186,000 miles per second in vacuum that has a profound effect on the experienced nature of reality. This projection precipitates a Big Bang. A mathematical state in which quanta becomes a door-way to multiple-layers of Light comes into existence at that moment and is captured by a seed-equation that is positioned as being always fully present in any and everything. Hence all of Light conspires to create anything and everything no matter how different from Light it may seem. Hence there is a fundamental symmetry to everything no matter how different it may appear in form. The seed-equation is structured by a four-foldness anchored on implicit properties in Light. This four-foldness is the cornerstone of the constructed function-based mathematics. This equation, referred to as the “Light-Space-Time Emergence” equation contains all possibility, and will indicate how all layers of known existence have emerged. The same equation essentially being used for anything in existence points to the fundamental mathematical symmetry of all things. Hence, from an initial fourfold space-time-energy-gravity expression, through the electromagnetic field, quantum particles, atoms, cells, and then human attributes and dynamics, to complex organizations and countries, culminating in a possible sustainable global civilization, the relationship of all things to this underlying seed-equation and all things as the seed-equation will be emphasized. But it will also be seen that Love is the compelling dynamic of projected four-foldness and appears to be the magician that causes the separated fourfold powers in Light to reintegrate to make materially real the compelling nature of oneness that Light and all its creatures in reality are. In the scheme of things, the human, placed at the middle of sixty orders of cosmic magnitude, ranging from the minute Planck-length to astronomical gigaparsecs appears to have a critical role in the continuing unfolding of the Cosmos. It is only by transcending smallness and becoming one with the magician to so enter into the very dynamic of Love, that the universe can continue on its ever-complexifying, ever more-beautiful journey of increasing functional-richness. It is only if humans so unite with the secret of Light that truer individuality, truer-knowledge, truer-power can emerge, and the very material process of space-time-energy-gravity quantization can be activated to create foundations of super-matter, that in the scheme of things is the compelling crystallization of the infinity in Light, reformulating micro and macro orders of magnitude to change the nature of Cosmos.
