NAMED A BEST BOOK OF THE YEAR BY TIME, VOGUE, VULTURE, GOOD HOUSEKEEPING, AND ELECTRIC LITERATURE A NATIONAL BOOK FOUNDATION "5 UNDER 35" HONOREE "Exquisite and wise." – New York Times “There is so much heart in these pages, so much wisdom on how we love. This book had me in its orbit, from beginning to end.” – Weike Wang, author of Joan is Okay Kathleen Cheng has blown up her life. She’s gone through a humiliating breakup, dropped out of her graduate program, and left everything behind. Now she’s back in her childhood home in Oakland, wondering what’s next. To her surprise, her mother isn’t the same person Kathleen remembers. No longer depressed or desperate to return to China, the new Marissa Cheng is sporty, perky, and has been transformed by love. Kathleen thought she’d be planning her own wedding, but instead finds herself helping her mother plan hers—to a Silicon Valley tech entrepreneur. Grasping for direction, Kathleen takes a job at a start-up that specializes in an unconventional form of therapy based on touch. While she negotiates new ideas about intimacy and connection, an unforeseen attachment to someone at work pushes her to rethink her relationships—especially the one with Marissa. Will they succeed in seeing each other anew, adult to adult? As they peel back the layers of their history—the old wounds, cultural barriers, and complex affection—they must come to a new understanding of how they can propel each other forward, and what they’ve done to hold each other back. Brilliantly observant, tender, and warm, Holding Pattern is a hopeful novel about immigration and belonging, mother-daughter relationships, and the many ways we learn to hold each other.

Holding Pattern
Author: Jeffery Renard Allen
Publisher: Graywolf Press
ISBN: 1555973477
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 223
Book Description
The world of Jeffery Renard Allen's stunning short-story collection is a place like no other. A recognizable city, certainly, but one in which a man might sprout wings or copper pennies might fall from the skies onto your head. Yet these are no fairy tales. The hostility, the hurt, is all too human. The protagonists circle each other with steely determination: a grandson taunts his grandmother, determined to expose her secret past; for years, a sister tries to keep a menacing neighbor away from her brother; and in the local police station, an officer and prisoner try to break each other's resolve. In all the stories, Allen calibrates the mounting tension with exquisite timing, in mesmerizing prose that has won him comparisons with Joyce and Faulkner. Holding Pattern is a captivating collection by a prodigiously talented writer.

Advanced Guide to Holding Patterns
Author: Christian Edmund Pezalla
Publisher: CreateSpace
ISBN: 9781490958736
Category : Transportation
Languages : en
Pages : 84
Book Description
While there are many books that include basic information on the topic of instrument holding procedures, none have previously dedicated more than a single chapter to it. Pilots and aviation instructors often pull information from multiple books in an effort to fully understand the procedures and rules related to holding procedures. Even then, these resources fail to fully explain the FAA's holding procedures and leave many questions unanswered. Moreover, the proliferation of satellite based systems has only increased the complexity of air navigation, as pilots attempt to integrate new technology with existing systems. This book includes chapters which fill the gaps in the existing literature and explain the roll of new technology. The information here will provide a solid understanding of both the FAA's expectations and the techniques required to achieve a successful holding pattern. Topics covered include: -Basics of instrument holding -Solutions to complex holds -Dealing with high winds -Solving unexpected issues -Holding with glass cockpit aircraft

The Federal Aviation Administration's Instrument Flying Handbook provides pilots, student pilots, aviation instructors, and controllers with the knowledge and skills required to operate in instrument meteorological conditions.
