Book Description
A classic story of love and sacrifice Description Mei Chan, a beautiful damsel from a poor background in China, has the opportunity of a lifetime to travel abroad and work in New York City. Her first job as a maid lands her in the house of a wealthy family where she meets Jason Jones, the third child of the 11th-richest man in the world. Soon, Mei and Jason fall in love. But one evening, a romantic trip to Letch Park turns into a race to save Jason’s life. Whatever befalls Jason in the abandoned house in the park is mysterious, and the cure to his ailment is not scientific. Desperate to find a solution, Jason’s father is offering the highest reward ever to any woman who will risk her life to save his son. About Cataphrase: Think of Cataphrase as a movie script designed to look like a book. We use the word “movie” to describe a Cataphrase book because the genre focuses on writing movies alone. Like one Cataphrase reader said, “When a good novel loses all its unnecessary weight, it becomes a Cataphrase.” The concept of writing a book that gives a reader the experience of watching a movie is what gave birth to Cataphrase. Simplified, Cataphrase is a book that summarizes what happens in a movie without sacrificing the interesting parts. Cataphrase doesn’t use a table of contents or chapters; instead, the pages are Cataphrased into scenes. A Cataphrase book does not exceed 200 pages. The reason is because most book readers believe a book that is written to entertain people shouldn’t exceed 250 pages, as, with the schedule of most people today, it could take up to a month or more to finish reading it. And let's say you have ten favorite authors and you've bought all their new books, and each is 300 pages or more. Imagine how long it will take you to read all the books. I’m not saying it’s impossible to read ten 300-page books in a month, but let’s be realistic. Unless you are unemployed, how many people have the time to read ten books in a month? However, the truth is, if a book is interesting, regardless of the size, we can always find time to read it. Often, when we are on a bus, train, or plane or just waiting for an oil change, we read one or two pages of a newspaper or that big novel we’ve been carrying about for a month. Have you ever heard someone say, “Anytime I need to fall asleep, I’ll pick up a Bible and start reading”? A book shouldn’t be a sleeping pill. This is why Cataphrase is designed to entertain readers and not help them fall asleep. The logic of Cataphrase is similar to that of a newspaper. The first thing that attracts most people to a newspaper is the headline and the fact that the news is short yet interesting. This logic is what Cataphrase intends to deliver.
