Strawberry Yellow by Naomi Hirahara Pdf

A new strawberry varietal has someone seeing red in this “intricate whodunit” featuring the curmudgeonly Japanese American gardener and reluctant sleuth (Kirkus Reviews). Hiroshima survivor Mas Arai first arrived in Watsonville, California in the 1940s. Now a semi-retired gardener living in an LA suburb, he returns for a cousin’s funeral only to get entangled in the mystery of a young woman’s murder. Was his cousin murdered, too? Mas has to figure out what happened, keep himself safe in the face of considerable peril, and uncover the mystery of a new strawberry varietal so important that someone just might be willing to kill for it. A skillfully plotted tale of family intrigue, revenge, and gardening that moves seamlessly between the past and the present, Strawberry Yellow is another outstanding chapter in an Edgar Award–winning series marked by “a shrewd sense of character and a formidable narrative engine” (Chicago Tribune). “Mas, less an amateur detective than a cranky, accidental one, is what makes the story work. His obdurance, his skill as a listener, and even his broken English are charming in a quirky, uncomplicated way.” —Booklist

Hina by Laszlo Groh Pdf

This book is about a young Polynesian girl who got marooned on a deserted island in the middle of the Pacific Ocean and got rescued by a Spanish boy from Mexico, and their adventures. This fictitious story happened in the 1825--1855 years in the good old history, long before my time. I wrote a few chapters in my first book (Caprice Letan) about this little girl, now I continue that story to the very end. I have spent one night sleeping on the open plateau of Eiao island, when a small lamb got killed by a bunch of savage wild boars. I woke up for a child’s cry of terror, from a deep sleep. I had dreamt of a big bonfire and savage men dancing around it, with big wooden clubs . According to legends the island is hunted, because its occupants had been eaten by cannibals. However, there was one survivor-HINA . The little mother if god. This is a happy mixture of love, piracy, treasure, shipwrecking and survival at sea with a “happy ending.” I hope You will enjoy it, as much as enjoyed to write it.

Blades and Feathers by Kate Grove Pdf

A stolen treasure. A desire to be recognized. And a dangerous time to live in. Whoever returns the stolen Jewel to the tengu clan, will be recognized as the next leader. This is the perfect chance for Yoriko to gain her family's affection, and she throws herself into the mission immediately, disguising herself as a man. She didn't plan on working as an aide to a greenhorn lord in the process but she's certain the Jewel is somewhere in his castle and Yoriko is determined to find it. As she watches Takeru deal with the aftermath of the war that left his new territory in shambles, she admires his tenacity and dedication to his people. Unexpectedly drawn to him, Yoriko soon realizes that there may be a place that accepts her as she is, without pretense and bribes - and it isn't the tengu compound. While secrets threaten to keep them apart, she forgets one thing. The Jewel has attracted others, far more dangerous and ruthless than Yoriko. In order to protect him, Yoriko must betray the trust of the only good man in her life. Will they find their way back to each other? Can their love survive her betrayal?

Teaching Asian North American Texts by Jennifer Ho,Jenny Heijun Wills Pdf

From the short stories and journalism of Sui Sin Far to Maxine Hong Kingston's pathbreaking The Woman Warrior to recent popular and critical successes such as Viet Thanh Nguyen's The Sympathizer, Mohsin Hamid's The Reluctant Fundamentalist, and Kevin Kwan's Crazy Rich Asians, Asian North American literature and media encompass a long history and a diverse variety of genres and aesthetic approaches. The essays in this volume provide context for understanding the history of Asian immigrants to the United States and Canada and the experiences of their children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren. Contributors address historical contexts, from the early enactment of Asian exclusion laws to the xenophobia following 9/11, and provide tools for textual analysis. The essays explore conventionally literary texts, genres such as mystery and speculative fiction, historical documents and legal texts, and visual media including films, photography, and graphic novels, emphasizing the ways that creators have crossed boundaries of genre and produced innovative new forms.
