Book Description
As a young Anglo woman running in fear for her safety and that of her two young children, Juddie Cline-Lindley was guided to the Navajo Reservation. It was there in a windswept, desolate location, that she learned the true meaning of the love of a people. Two cultures crossed and became as one, with the patient teaching of the Navajo who believe in dreams and occurrences where many Anglos care not to tread. It has been said that she is a woman of many facets. One is a tender loving side that is known to children and the elderly. Then there is that of a cop; a fiercely independent survivor, keeping watch over the safety of others. Yet another facet is when she speaks in short, matter-of-fact sentences like the Navajo, the people of her heart and soul. Words can never express the kindred spirit she feels when she is with her family, the Navajo. The warmth that welcomes her like a Pendleton blanket when she retreats to the Rez to renew her inner spirit, sharing smiles and laughter with family, fry bread and ceremonies; children running, horses and sheep. The Rez is her home, the centerpiece of her life.

As a junior employee of the company, she felt a headache coming on. How could she be so hot-headed that she could 'suddenly' become the CEO's wife? "I'll pay for your uncle's medical expenses." The CEO pointed to the cheque on the sofa. "The contract will be for two months. Two million will be yours when it expires." The CEO pointed to the prenuptial agreement at the side. Warm: There is no "cooperation" that cannot be negotiated, if there is, it can only mean that the other party's "sincerity" is not enough. Looking at the lady who signed the contract readily, the CEO's lips curled up. "You fell into my trap. Little thing, do you still want to run away?"

It's February 1942. War grips the world. Asian hate runs rampant, and New Orleans is a dangerous place for Chinese-English scientist Thomas Ling as he collides with self-proclaimed psychic Beatrix Patterson. She's a good liar with an excellent memory, which in truth is her only gift—well, that and conning the well-heeled out of their money and secrets. Hired by the US Army to use her connections to expose Nazi saboteurs and sympathizers, Beatrix recruits the reluctant Thomas. Together, they pit their skills against a government conspiracy, terrorist cells, kidnappings, and murderous plots. As Beatrix grapples with the truth of her own past, she must come to terms with her ruse. Exposing the Nazi war machine about to invade the country could cost Beatrix everything she's worked so hard to build. But the information she and Thomas uncover could change the outcome of the war. The question remains: will anyone believe a liar and a suspected traitor?

The Good Women of China
Author: Xinran
Publisher: Anchor
ISBN: 0307485536
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 289
Book Description
When Deng Xiaoping’s efforts to “open up” China took root in the late 1980s, Xinran recognized an invaluable opportunity. As an employee for the state radio system, she had long wanted to help improve the lives of Chinese women. But when she was given clearance to host a radio call-in show, she barely anticipated the enthusiasm it would quickly generate. Operating within the constraints imposed by government censors, “Words on the Night Breeze” sparked a tremendous outpouring, and the hours of tape on her answering machines were soon filled every night. Whether angry or muted, posing questions or simply relating experiences, these anonymous women bore witness to decades of civil strife, and of halting attempts at self-understanding in a painfully restrictive society. In this collection, by turns heartrending and inspiring, Xinran brings us the stories that affected her most, and offers a graphically detailed, altogether unprecedented work of oral history.
