Speak, Okinawa
Author: Elizabeth Miki Brina
Publisher: Vintage
ISBN: 0525657355
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 304
Book Description
A “hauntingly beautiful memoir about family and identity” (NPR) and a young woman's journey to understanding her complicated parents—her mother an Okinawan war bride, her father a Vietnam veteran—and her own, fraught cultural heritage. Elizabeth's mother was working as a nightclub hostess on U.S.-occupied Okinawa when she met the American soldier who would become her husband. The language barrier and power imbalance that defined their early relationship followed them to the predominantly white, upstate New York suburb where they moved to raise their only daughter. There, Elizabeth grew up with the trappings of a typical American childhood and adolescence. Yet even though she felt almost no connection to her mother's distant home, she also felt out of place among her peers. Decades later, Elizabeth comes to recognize the shame and self-loathing that haunt both her and her mother, and attempts a form of reconciliation, not only to come to terms with the embattled dynamics of her family but also to reckon with the injustices that reverberate throughout the history of Okinawa and its people. Clear-eyed and profoundly humane, Speak, Okinawa is a startling accomplishment—a heartfelt exploration of identity, inheritance, forgiveness, and what it means to be an American.

Book Description
Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 My first memory is of a dog biting me, on the arm, not hard, but just enough to jar me into consciousness. His name is Shiro, which means white or castle or generation in Japanese, depending on how it is written. I was three years old and he was just above my height. I believe we understood each other. #2 The Battle of Okinawa was the most deadly battle in history, with over 100,000 Okinawans dying. It began in April of 1945 and lasted 82 days. It was a conquered nation for many centuries, but the people were conscripted to fight in the front lines. #3My mother was born in 1952, three years after the war. She was born into poverty and chaos, and she witnessed the U. S. military devouring the island, constructing enormous complexes of bases. She witnessed forests and fields becoming concrete. #4 My mother and I have developed an understanding that precedes words. It is an understanding that comes from being the same body, being fed, bathed, clothed, and held in her arms every day.

The Viking's Highland Lass

Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 184
Book Description
Gunnolf was left for dead when he was young as he went on one of his kin’s raids, but finds his way to the Highlands and a home with the MacNeill Clan. The clan’s seer warns him he must rescue a woman in need, only he rescues the wrong woman. Yet, Brina is in need. Her father, wounded in battle by Gunnolf’s own kind, must oust the tyrant who has taken his place if he is to rule. Yet he needs Gunnolf’s help, but Gunnolf learns Brina’s father had killed Gunnolf’s brother. Brina is torn between hating the Viking who has rescued her, and knowing that his kin had killed her grandfather in an age old tale of fighting between their people, and loving the man who took her under his protection, and the wolf cub she insisted on rescuing. Now, Gunnolf must make a choice: wed the lass as her father has insisted and restore her father’s position as chief of his clan when he’s not sure her father is trustworthy, hoping he can obtain a peace between his people and hers, or leave well enough alone and stay with the MacNeill clan, his family for the past ten years. The problem is one sweet Highland lass that makes him want a woman—this woman—to warm his bed and have his bairns and to protect and cherish, when having a wife was the furthest notion from his mind…until one prediction changed his whole life.
