The Devil Wore Plaid
Sandi Sherwood wants something just out of her reach—a happy home. To her counselor, that's not an unusual request, but to Sandi, she might as well ask for something simple, like peace on earth. Jack Sherwood is charming, ruggedly handsome, an all around Mr. Nice Guy, until the lethal combination of pain pills and alcohol hits his system turning him into a raging monster. As Jack, he plays the guitar, constructs spec houses, and nurses his swollen, hemorrhaging, joints. As the monster, he comes home from The Pink Elephant Bar exploding with anger and ends up terrorizing his family, attacking his children and destroying their property. Tired of making excuses for his behavior, can Sandi find the inner strength to confront Jack? Is her daughter right when she accuses Sandi of being as guilty of child abuse as Jack? After years of suffering his abuse, why does Sandi still love him? Or does she? Sandi must look inside herself to answer these questions if she's to put closure to the past and move on with her life. But first, she must find their son with nothing more to go on than Jack's cryptic note saying, I told you so.

I'm Not Chinese
"The first thing you need to know is I'm not Chinese. My name is Raymond Wong and I stopped being Chinese at the age of five." Raymond Wong wants to forget his past: a charming, conniving, and controlling Chinese mother, a father who hasn't so much as written him a letter in 28 years, a stepfather who never sees him as a son, a childhood rife with ridicule and bullying from American kids, and the pain of being an outcast in his own family. Raymond goes back to Hong Kong with the mother he has always pushed away, a woman who represents everything he wants to disown. He meets a father he doesn't recognize and can't talk to because they speak different languages. He encounters a people and a country as foreign as the Cantonese he can no longer comprehend. I'm Not Chinese: The Journey from Resentment to Reverence is about a man who has spent his life running from his culture, his family, himself-and what happens when he is forced to stop running.
