SUMMARY:Vroman's Bookstore: Wendy Chen\, in conversation with Alexandra Chang\, discusses Their Divine Fires
DESCRIPTION:In 1917\, at the dawn of the Chinese Revolution\, Yunhong grew up in the southern China countryside and fell deeply in love with the son of a wealthy landlord despite her brother’s objections. On the night of her wedding\, her brother destroys the marriage before it has even lasted a day and irrevocably changes the shape of Yunhong’s family; her daughter Yuexin will never know her father. Haunted by a history that she will never fully understand\, Yuexin passes those memories onto her daughters Hongxing and Yonghong\, who come of age in the years following Mao’s death\, battling the push and pull of political forces as they forge their own paths. Each generation guards its secrets\, leaving Emily\, great-granddaughter of Yunhong and living in contemporary America\, to piece together what actually happened between her mother\, her sister\, and the weight of their shared ancestry. \nDrawing on the lives of her great-grandmother and her great-uncles–both of whom fought on the side of the Communists–as well as her mother’s experiences during the Cultural Revolution\, Wendy Chen infuses Their Divine Fires with a passion that will transport the reader back to powerful moments in history while bringing us close to the women who persisted despite the forces all around them. Both brilliant and haunting\, it’s a story about what our ancestors will\, and won’t\, tell us.

SUMMARY:Vroman's Bookstore: Marcelo Verdad discusses The Dream Catcher
DESCRIPTION:For fans of Last Stop on Market Street\, an uplifting story about a boy who stays true to his biggest dream while finding the magic in every moment. \nSome people dream of perfect waves\, fancy castles\, or piloting a plane. Others dream of someone to laugh and play with all day long. Some just dream of having a meal for the next day. \nAnd little Miguel? As he and Abuelito work in the hot Oaxacan sun\, selling cold coconuts and macrame dream catchers to earn a few coins\, Miguel has only one simple wish–to have his parents by his side. But how can he keep the faith when the truth is that dreams don’t always come to pass? \nMarcelo Verdad’s poignant tale of hope and resilience shows how living in the here and now can be a journey every bit as beautiful as a dream.

SUMMARY:Vroman's Bookstore: Tom Hoffarth discusses Perfect Eloquence: An Appreciation of Vin Scully
DESCRIPTION:When Vin Scully passed away in 2022\, the city of Los Angeles lost its soundtrack. If you were able to deliver a eulogy for him\, what might it be? What impact did he have on you? What do you carry forward from his legacy? Sixty-seven essayists-one representing each season of his career calling games for the Los Angeles Dodgers\, from 1950 through 2016-reflect on the ways his professional and private life influenced them. The contributions include a range of stories and remembrances from those who knew and followed him. The consensus of the contributions is that Scully’s actions spoke louder than his well-recognized words. This collection includes fellow broadcasters as well as historians\, players\, journalists\, celebrities\, and others connected to the game of baseball\, with each piece introduced by sports journalist Tom Hoffarth. Readers can consider Scully’s life through common themes: his sincerity\, his humility\, his professionalism\, his passion for his faith\, his devotion to his family\, his insistence on remembering and giving context to important moments in the history of not just the game but the world in general\, all wrapped up in a gift for weaving storytelling with accurate reporting\, fellowship with performance art\, humor\, and connection.

SUMMARY:Vroman's Bookstore: Jin Wang presents Born Naughty: My Childhood in China
DESCRIPTION:Share in the joyful\, adventure-filled shenanigans of a child growing up in a small mud hut in Inner Mongolia in this charming\, illustrated memoir for young middle-grade readers. \nGrowing up in Inner Mongolia\, Jin Wang was rambunctious and boisterous and did not always listen to her Ma. Jin and her family were poor\, but like kids everywhere\, she still found a way to have fun and get into lots of mischief climbing trees\, digging for mushrooms\, and even looking for wolves. \nPaired with delightful\, kid-friendly illustrations\, this early middle-grade memoir invites readers to join Jin and her family in the outskirts of Inner Mongolia to remind us that though we all have different customs and traditions\, we are more alike than not\, and that mischief lives within all of us.

SUMMARY:Vroman's Bookstore: Kevin Fedarko discusses A Walk in the Park
DESCRIPTION:A few years after quitting his job to follow an ill-advised dream of becoming a guide on the Colorado River\, Kevin Fedarko was approached by his best friend\, the National Geographic photographer Pete McBride\, with a vision as bold as it was harebrained. Together\, they would embark on an end-to-end traverse of the Grand Canyon\, a journey that\, McBride promised\, would be “a walk in the park.” Against his better judgment\, Fedarko agreed to the scheme\, unaware that the small cluster of experts who had completed the crossing billed it as “the toughest hike in the world.” \nThe ensuing ordeal\, which lasted more than a year\, revealed a place that was deeper\, richer\, and far more complex than anything the two men had imagined–and came within a hair’s breadth of killing them both. They struggled to make their way through the all but impenetrable reaches of its truest wilderness\, a vertical labyrinth of thousand-foot cliffs and crumbling ledges where water is measured out by the teaspoon and every step is fraught with peril–and where\, even today\, there is still no trail along the length of the country’s best-known and most iconic park. \nAlong the way\, veteran long-distance hikers ushered them into secret pockets\, invisible to the millions of tourists gathered on the rim\, where only a handful of humans have ever laid eyes. Members of the canyon’s eleven Native American tribes brought them face-to-face with layers of history that forced them to reconsider myths at the center of our national parks–and exposed them to the impinging threats of commercial tourism. Even Fedarko’s dying father\, who had first pointed him toward the canyon more than forty years earlier but had never set foot there himself\, opened him to a new way of seeing the landscape.

SUMMARY:Vroman's Bookstore: Max Podemski discusses A Paradise of Small Houses
DESCRIPTION:The Philadelphia row house. The New York tenement. The Boston triple-decker. Every American city has its own iconic housing style\, structures that have been home to generations of families and are symbols of identity and pride. Max Podemski\, an urban planner for the city of Los Angeles and lifelong architecture buff\, has spent his career in and around these buildings. Deftly combining his years of experience with extensive research\, Podemski walks the reader through the history of our dwelling spaces–and offers a blueprint for how time-tested urban planning models can help us build the homes the United States so desperately needs. \nIn A Paradise of Small Houses\, Podemski charts how these dwellings have evolved over the centuries according to the geography\, climate\, population\, and culture of each city. He introduces the reader to styles like Chicago’s prefabricated workers cottages and LA’s car-friendly dingbats\, illuminating the human stories behind each city’s iconic housing type. Through it all\, Podemski interrogates the American values that have equated home ownership with success and led to the US housing crisis\, asking\, “How can we look to the past to build the homes\, neighborhoods\, and cities of the future that our communities deserve?

SUMMARY:Vroman's Bookstore: Mickey Bergman discusses In the Shadows: True Stories of High-Stakes Negotiations to Free Americans Captured Abroad
DESCRIPTION:Who else are their desperate loved ones supposed to call? Mickey and his tight team of savvy negotiators at the Richardson Center for Global Engagement are the go-to rescuers of last resort\, carrying on the high-stakes\, round-the-world mission of master negotiator Bill Richardson. Mickey and his team do what U.S. government officials are often unable or unwilling to do: sit down with America’s toughest adversaries and find creative ways to bring our people home. \nThat’s life In the Shadows. \nThis is the heart-pounding story of these urgent negotiations\, what it’s like to climb inside the minds of some of the world’s most notorious strongmen\, where the clear divisions between good and evil are replaced by a thousand shades of gray. \nThe hard work is done far from the glare of media publicity. The negotiations don’t follow traditional diplomatic rules. As innocent Americans sit behind bars in hellhole foreign prisons\, Mickey and his colleagues stop at nothing to get our people home. And these cases almost never go as smoothly as they should\, as the independent negotiators navigate between U.S. government officials and some of the world’s most headstrong leaders. And as soon as one American is freed\, Mickey is off on another dicey mission to Moscow\, Caracas\, Naypyidaw\, Pyongyang\, or some other complex foreign capital. These painstaking campaigns require creative thinking\, hardball pressure tactics\, excruciating patience\, and a genuine sense of compassion for the anxious families whose lives are thrown into turmoil when a loved one is imprisoned abroad. \nIn Mickey Bergman’s own words\, In the Shadows tells the hidden story of these high-drama rescue campaigns. The crafty negotiating strategies. The strong-willed foreign leaders. The emotional rollercoaster of being responsible for innocent American lives. The exhilaration when another American is released from a foreign prison–and the terrible letdown when a promising effort hits another maddening roadblock. Mickey recounts his unique relationship with his mentor\, the late\, great Richardson\, the former governor of New Mexico\, ambassador to the United Nations and legendary negotiator. He shares the wrenching closeness he develops with the desperate families he serves\, who often have nowhere else to turn. He offers a detailed account of his one-on-one interactions with Washington’s top power players\, both Democrats and Republicans\, and some of the world’s most isolated and misunderstood heads of state.

SUMMARY:Vroman’s Bookstore: Jacqueline Winspear discusses The Comfort of Ghosts

Psychologist and Investigator Maisie Dobbs visits the mansion on behalf of the owners and discovers that a demobilized soldier\, gravely ill and reeling from his experiences overseas\, has taken shelter with the group. \nMaisie’s quest to bring comfort to the youngsters and the ailing soldier brings to light a decades-old mystery concerning Maisie’s first husband\, James Compton\, who was killed while piloting an experimental fighter aircraft. As Maisie unravels the threads of her dead husband’s life\, she is forced to examine her own painful past and question beliefs she has always accepted as true.

SUMMARY:Vroman’s Bookstore: Lori Tucker Sullivan discusses I Can’t Remember if I Cried: Rock Widows on Life\, Love\, and Legacy
DESCRIPTION:The stories of rock musicians who die young are the thing of lore and legend. Accidents\, drug overdoses\, plane crashes–all have taken the lives of male rock stars still in their primes. But what became of their widowed brides? How did they survive a loss so great? What is it like to have to share your grief with millions of strangers? And where are these widows today? \nI Can’t Remember if I Cried is part music history\, part memoir\, based around interviews with rock widows conducted by Lori Tucker-Sullivan–who herself lost her husband in 2010. With each widow that Lori interviews\, she learns lessons in love\, forgiveness\, coping\, and moving on. The book is framed by the author’s own narrative to create a single thread that links the stories together to ultimately create a tale of how the author’s life is changed through her interactions with these amazing women.

SUMMARY:Vroman’s Bookstore: Yasmine Cheyenne discusses Wisdom of the Path: The Beautiful and Bumpy Ride to Healing and Trusting Our Inner Guide
DESCRIPTION:“When I decided to stop hiding in the shadows of what I’d been through and embrace the hills and rugged terrain of my life\, I saw who I really was and loved her.” –FROM THE EPILOGUE \nWe’re each walking our own journey\, and sometimes it’s a hard one: a divorce\, a career change\, grief\, or a major life transition. These chapters of our lives can leave us feeling lost and overwhelmed thinking\, “How did I end up here?” Most often\, the answers we tell ourselves make us feel either stuck on the path or stuck in shame. We are uncomfortable with the discomfort that life inevitably presents. \nBut another possibility is that we allow this question to spark curiosity that inspires and invites us to keep going\, step by step\, until we arrive on the other side of our journey. \nWisdom of the Path weaves stories of grief\, heartbreak\, joy\, and overcoming that invite you to gather the wisdom you’ve collected throughout your life and use it for your path ahead. Anchored in four guideposts: base camp\, intent\, walk the talk\, and lessons learned\, this soulful and warm storytelling guide encourages us to embrace the bumpy roads of our lives with knowledge and knowing that we’re moving forward.
