SUMMARY:Janice Nimura reads from her debut Daughters of the Samurai
DESCRIPTION:In 1871\, five young girls were sent by the Japanese government to the United States. Their mission: learn Western ways and return to help nurture a new generation of enlightened men to lead Japan. Raised in traditional samurai households during the turmoil of civil war\, three of these unusual ambassadors—Sutematsu Yamakawa\, Shige Nagai\, and Ume Tsuda—grew up as typical American schoolgirls. Upon their arrival in San Francisco they became celebrities\, their travels feted by newspapers across the nation. The passionate friendships they formed reveal an intimate world of cross-cultural fascination and connection. Ten years later\, they returned to Japan—a land grown foreign to them—determined to revolutionize women’s education.Based on in-depth archival research in Japan and in the United States\, Daughters of the Samurai is beautifully\, cinematically written\, a fascinating lens through which to view an extraordinary historical moment.

SUMMARY:Josh Davis launches his debut book Two Awesome Hours
DESCRIPTION:Whether we love our jobs or not\, the amount of work on our plate has reached unsustainable levels. We start each workday anxious about how we will get it all done\, and which important tasks will have to be sacrificed—again—so we can keep our heads above water. We often respond to our out-of-control to-do lists by focusing on being more efficient—trying to get more done in less time. According to Josh Davis\, Ph.D.\, we’re going about it the wrong way. The answer is not to get more done faster\, but rather to create the conditions for at least two awesome hours of peak productivity each day. \nNeuroscience and psychology research is revealing what those conditions are. Drawing on this research\, Davis explains that our minds operate according to complex factors that\, when leveraged the right way\, can make us truly effective. Davis shows us five deceptively simple strategies to create the conditions for incredible productivity and to restore sanity and balance to our lives.

SUMMARY:Mary Davis launches her debut for young adults Oliphant Island
DESCRIPTION:The Oliphant sisters–Miranda\, Lulu and Leggy–spend every summer at their family’s run-down Great Camp in the Adirondacks built by their great-great grandfather\, back when the family was prosperous. As much as the girls look forward to time away from their New York City all-girls school\, the tedium of an entire summer enjoying unspoiled nature\, with no wireless connection anywhere\, is more than they can bear. This summer their parents\, Professor and Judge Oliphant\, are busy with work and have handed them over to their kind but absentminded Aunt Ariel\, who provides even less structure than their parents. Miranda daydreams about redecorating their moldy\, book-filled camp; Lulu hungers for competitive sports; and Leggy\, the littlest Oliphant\, drives everyone crazy with her constant talk of fairies. When their odious cousins arrive unexpectedly\, bringing with them all the tensions the girls thought they had left behind for the summer\, the girls\, who were each adopted from China\, fight for their place in the family and for their beloved summer home. They discover that being an Oliphant brings lots of surprises.

SUMMARY:Victoria Shorr reads from her debut novel Backlands
DESCRIPTION:In this Bonnie and Clyde story of love and betrayal\, a band of outlaws fight for control of the brutal Brazilian outback.Backlands tells the epic\, historically based story of a group of indigenous\, nomadic outlaws who rode through the backlands of Brazil from around 1922 until 1938. Led by the one-eyed bandit Lampiao and his lover Maria Bonita—still folk heroes to this day—the bandits marched across the vast\, open reaches of their dry\, desolate\, starkly beautiful landscape\, taking from the rich\, entertaining the poor\, controlling an area roughly the size of France\, and fighting off all the police and soldiers the region could muster.Lampiao had everything—brains\, money\, power\, charisma\, and luck. Everything but love\, until he met Maria Bonita. Together they would become the most wanted people in Brazil\, maintaining their freedom through cunning. This vividly rendered work of historical fiction chronicles the reign and eventual betrayal of a band of romantic outlaws living a near-impossible existence.

SUMMARY:Ginger Adams Otis reads from her debut Firefight
DESCRIPTION:In 1919\, when Wesley Williams became a New York City firefighter\, he stepped into a world that was 100% white and predominantly Irish. As far as this city knew\, black men in the Fire Department of New York (FDNY) tended horses. Nearly a century later\, many things in the FDNY had changed—but not the scarcity of black firemen. New York had about 300 black firefighters—roughly 3 percent of the 11\,000 New York firefighters in a city of two million African Americans. That made the FDNY a true aberration compared to all the other uniformed departments\, like the NYPD. Decades earlier\, women and blacks had sued over its hiring practices and won. But the FDNY never took permanent steps to eradicate the inequities\, which led to a courtroom show-down between New York City’s billionaire Mayor\, Mike Bloomberg\, and a determined group of black activist firefighters. It was not until 2014 that the city settled the $98 million lawsuit. \nAt the center of this book are stories of courage—about firefighters risking their lives in the line of duty but also risking their livelihood by battling an unjust system. Among them: FDNY Captain Paul Washington\, a second generation black firefighter\, who spent his multi-decade career fighting to get minorities on the job. He faced an insular culture made up of relatives who never saw their own inclusion as favoritism. \nBased on years of on the ground reporting\, Firefight is an exciting blend of the high-octane energy of firefighting and critical Civil Rights history.
