Book Description
In the heart of rural India, where the sun scorches the earth and the winds carry the weight of unspoken hardships, Legacy of Sacrifice: A Tale of Dreams and Realities brings to life the poignant journey of Hori, a farmer bound by tradition and the relentless pull of the land. In a world where dreams are often swallowed by poverty, Hori’s life is a testament to the sacrifices made in the pursuit of a better future—both for himself and for his family. At the center of this powerful narrative is Hori’s unwavering love for his family, particularly his son Gobar, who yearns for something more than the dusty fields and backbreaking work his father has known. Gobar’s ambition, fueled by his education and the hope of progress, becomes the catalyst for a generational conflict. While Hori clings to the old ways of farming passed down through generations, Gobar envisions a modern future—one that challenges his father’s every belief. Their clash is a mirror of the larger struggle between tradition and change, the old world and the new. As Hori battles the harsh realities of life—a crumbling farm, mounting debts, and a constant fight to survive—he begins to question the very essence of his dreams. The pain of unfulfilled aspirations, coupled with the weight of sacrifice, is felt deeply as he faces the limitations of his world. Yet, in the face of adversity, hope springs eternal. It is in the sweat of his labor, in the sacrifices he makes for his family, that Hori finds meaning and purpose—his greatest wish being for his son to live a life of opportunity and fulfillment, beyond the struggles he has known. This book is not just about the trials of one man; it is an exploration of the human spirit’s resilience. Through Hori’s journey, readers are drawn into a world of stark realities, where poverty and hardship are constant companions, but where the will to improve, dream, and sacrifice is unyielding. Legacy of Sacrifice is a reflection on the cost of dreams, the burden of time, and the eternal hope that despite the greatest struggles, something greater will emerge from the sacrifice. At its core, this story is a reminder that true wealth lies not in possessions, but in the legacy we leave behind through our actions, our sacrifices, and the love we give to those who come after us. Hori’s tale is one of quiet dignity, a humble testament to the notion that even in the most desolate of fields, hope can bloom—if only we are willing to toil for it. Quote: "In the fields of despair, hope blooms with the sweat of sacrifice."

The Power of Half
Author: Kevin Salwen

Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 257
Book Description
A true story of making a difference: “What does your family stand for? Read this book—it will change your life” (Daniel H. Pink). It all started when fourteen-year-old Hannah Salwen had a “eureka” moment. Seeing a homeless man in her neighborhood at the same moment when a glistening Mercedes coupe pulled up, she said “You know, Dad, if that man had a less nice car, that man there could have a meal.” Until that day, the Salwens had been caught up like so many of us in the classic American dream—providing a good life for their children, accumulating more and more stuff, doing their part but not really feeling it. So when Hannah was stopped in her tracks by this glaring disparity, her parents knew they had to do something. As a family, they made the extraordinary decision to sell their Atlanta mansion, downsize to a house half its size, and give half of the sale price to a worthy charity. What began as an outlandish scheme became a remarkable journey that transported them across the globe and well out of their comfort zone. In the end they learned that they had the power to change a little corner of the world—and found that it changed them, too. “You feel lighter reading this book, as if the heavy weight of house and car and appliances, the need to collect these things to feel safe as a family, are lifted and replaced by something that makes much more sense.” —Los Angeles Times

Book Description
NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • NOW A MAJOR MOTION PICTURE • From America’s “forgotten war” in Korea comes an unforgettable tale of courage by the author of A Higher Call. “In the spirit of Unbroken and The Boys in the Boat comes Devotion.”—Associated Press • “Aerial drama at its best—fast, powerful, and moving.”—Erik Larson Devotion tells the inspirational story of the U.S. Navy’s most famous aviation duo, Lieutenant Tom Hudner and Ensign Jesse Brown, and the Marines they fought to defend. A white New Englander from the country-club scene, Tom passed up Harvard to fly fighters for his country. An African American sharecropper’s son from Mississippi, Jesse became the navy’s first Black carrier pilot, defending a nation that wouldn’t even serve him in a bar. While much of America remained divided by segregation, Jesse and Tom joined forces as wingmen in Fighter Squadron 32. Adam Makos takes us into the cockpit as these bold young aviators cut their teeth at the world’s most dangerous job—landing on the deck of an aircraft carrier—a line of work that Jesse’s young wife, Daisy, struggles to accept. Deployed to the Mediterranean, Tom and Jesse meet the Fleet Marines, boys like PFC “Red” Parkinson, a farm kid from the Catskills. In between war games in the sun, the young men revel on the Riviera, partying with millionaires and even befriending the Hollywood starlet Elizabeth Taylor. Then comes the conflict that no one expected: the Korean War. Devotion takes us soaring overhead with Tom and Jesse, and into the foxholes with Red and the Marines as they battle a North Korean invasion. As the fury of the fighting escalates and the Marines are cornered at the Chosin Reservoir, Tom and Jesse fly, guns blazing, to try and save them. When one of the duo is shot down behind enemy lines and pinned in his burning plane, the other faces an unthinkable choice: watch his friend die or attempt history’s most audacious one-man rescue mission. A tug-at-the-heartstrings tale of bravery and selflessness, Devotion asks: How far would you go to save a friend?
