Book Description
Lifes more serious curveballs, you dont see coming. You are not prepared and you do not know what to do. And, sometimes, when the curve is real nasty, you buckle. This book tells the story of the great curveball thrown into my life. The buckle, in my case, is what has been called Kundalini Syndrome. The term refers to the troubles that can come along with a spontaneous Kundalini Awakening. It seems clich to say something about how the big curveballs and challenges in life are the real opportunities to learn and to grow as a person. Especially considering that some things in this world are so awful that they couldnt possibly fit into a comforting expression. However, in my own story, Ive found this clich to be accurate.

Book Description
“Much will be made—and rightly so—of the eloquent commentary [Lam’s] essays provide on Vietnam and the Vietnamese . . . a fascinating and important book.” —Robert Olen Butler, Pulitzer Prize–winning author A PEN American Beyond Margins Award winner In his long-overdue first collection of essays, noted journalist and NPR commentator Andrew Lam explores his lifelong struggle for identity as a Viet Kieu, or a Vietnamese national living abroad. At age eleven, Lam, the son of a South Vietnamese general, came to California on the eve of the fall of Saigon to communist forces. He traded his Vietnamese name for a more American one and immersed himself in the allure of the American dream: something not clearly defined for him or his family. Reflecting on the meanings of the Vietnam War to the Vietnamese people themselves—particularly to those in exile—Lam picks with searing honesty at the roots of his doubleness and his parents’ longing for a homeland that no longer exists. “Lam shatters the assumptions of readers who have encountered the Vietnam experience only through American pop culture . . . He writes with the delicacy and intensity of a poet.” —Los Angeles Times Book Review “Andrew Lam writes with the honesty of a true journalist and the feeling of a born storyteller. On his many journeys between Vietnam and the U.S., he sees first-hand the global consequences of war. Perfume Dreams is a meaningful book for our times.” —Maxine Hong Kingston, national bestselling author of The Woman Warrior “Lam’s insights into Asian American life are reflected in candid, witty anecdotes that reveal much about the difficulties of living in two cultures.” —Audrey Magazine

Book Description
In the 70- year history of Filipino migration to Canada, their number has increased from 770 in 1964 to about a million in 2021. Yet no book has been written and published in Canada about the Filipino community in its entirety. This book fills that vacuum. The first major wave of primarily professional Filipino immigrants, mostly nurses, doctors and other healthcare professionals arrived in the 1960s from the U.S. They came to renew their U.S. visas but decided to stay. They were admitted on Canada’s merit-based point system. The succeeding waves of Filipino immigrants came mainly through the government’s Live-in Caregiver Program, the Temporary Foreign Workers Program and the Family Reunification program where requirements for education and technical skills were less demanding. These immigrant programs, with racist undertone, brought them to Canada mainly to do work that most Canadians did not like to do. They felt they were needed as temporary workers but not as citizens. These immigrants were driven to accept these undesirable jobs to escape from poverty and turmoil back home in the hope of achieving a better future in Canada for their children. They came in the prime of life, trained and competent to take on whatever job they could get to survive. And they toiled away quietly minding their own business, raising their children as best as they could while instilling in them the value of good education. But Filipinos are an indomitable lot and can’t be kept down for long. In the last two decades, a new breed of notable young Filipinos has emerged from the shadows and into the light. This book tells how a million Filipino immigrants turned hardships into opportunities and a better life in Canada for their children. This is their contemporary history. This is not a mere collection of published articles. It is an ongoing narrative, linking chapters from Introduction to Conclusion, by academicians, researchers, journalists and essayists who provide the necessary in-depth theorizing and analyzing of the 70-year history of Filipino immigration to Canada.

Book Description
A major American novel, and arguably the finest work of literature ever to emerge from a US prison, On the Yard is a book of penetrating psychological realism in which Malcolm Braly paints an unforgettable picture of the complex and frightening world of the penitentiary. At its center are the violently intertwined stories of Chilly Willy, in trouble with the law from his earliest years and now the head of the prison’s flourishing black market in drugs and sex, and of Paul, wracked with guilt for the murder of his wife and desperate for some kind of redemption. At once brutal and tender, clear-eyed and rueful, On the Yard presents the penitentiary not as an exotic location, an exception to everyday reality, but as an ordinary place, one every reader will recognize, American to the core.

Book Description
Love has been in existence since time immemorial and so are troubles and human imperfections. Love stories are not always about big heroism and great sacrifices. Rather, looking around us, love stories are about the imperfections that we carry. It's not about winning some big wars or going to the moon and stars but it's about small things, good or bad. A lawyer, Rann is a regular guy living his life, celebrating every occasion that he can and definitely careless when not arguing in courtrooms. A finance strategist for an MNC, Sunaina is a calm and mature girl, who likes to keep everyone around her happy but doesn't open up that easily. They bump into each other and it seems they would instantly fall in love. Well, that's actually not what happens. Love stories don't begin on day one, much like great wines they also take time to mature. Sunaina and Rann transition from strangers to friends. They chat, they talk, they argue, they disagree, but will they fall in love? After an early realization of his feelings for Sunaina, Rann is on a quest to woo her. But does Sunaina feel the same way or is there something in her past that Rann doesn't know about?... Will Rann be able to win the love of his life? ...
