Aging Storm Clouds

ISBN: 1640823689
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 298
Book Description
His mother's neck broke while he vaguely watched . . . The ocean that was once a blanket for the village, smothered the village and killed her sister . . . And both wind up in a school that seemingly has the motto "From savage to civilized." Hotah Often getting pneumonias and being conceived by rape, Hotah lived in a Hopi village with his great-grandmother deep in her nineties but said, "The hell with a walking stick." His whole life, he had seen war sprout, such as witnessing his grandmother's brutal death and severed body parts thrown to the railroad. But most of that had not given him troubled thoughts. It was mostly his mother's hanging, perhaps, because he had to help carry her dead body back home. As an eighty-one-year-old man, Hotah recaptures his time at both home and the St. Mary's Indian Mission School he was sent to shortly after his mother's dismiss. Traumatized at the school, his memories play to him over and over again while meeting his first crush and someone he shares an unlikely bond with. Kai Kai was the only Hawaiian at the Indian Mission School, as there were no records of Hawaiian children being sent to these schools. Kai was taken with a few other villagers to a refugee camp after the tsunami but very faintly remembered how she arrived at the school. Orphaned at birth, Kai was raised by her much-older sister Haunani but lost Haunani to the storm. As a woman, she speaks of her memories at home and the mission school, which involved meeting a person whose face she never forgot.

Sleuth of Bears
Author: Anne Loiselle
Publisher: iUniverse
ISBN: 1663252718
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 192
Book Description
Lily Piper is a young yoga instructor recovering from an accident that left her in a deep depression. She’s slowly working her way back to good health and has even signed up for a challenging open water swim, but something’s still missing - there’s no spark, no excitement, and she’s a little lonely. One day one of her clients tells Lily and a group of fellow students about an autopsy that was accidentally performed on the wrong body at the hospital where she works. She was hoping to send the body to the funeral home as quickly as possible, but when the medical examiner’s report is complete, it states that death was due to homicide! Lily (along with the clients who were present that day) is intrigued and can’t help doing a little investigating. The murkiness of the woman’s death sparks the very type of passion and interest she has been yearning to feel. A second murder, and a blossoming friendship among the group as they bond over discussions about motive and suspects, move the action along. The symbology of the Eye of Horus, the name of Lily’s studio, weaves throughout this tale, inviting the reader to explore deeper metaphysical concepts within the construct of an amateur detective story. Set against the idyllic backdrop of Washington, DC and the Potomac River, Sleuth of Bears is an engrossing and entertaining mystery.
