Book excerpt: After twenty years of crafting delicious food in Oakmont at his El Patio Café, loving father and husband Felipe Sanchez has big plans for expanding the business-so when the undocumented immigrant disappears without a trace, his family fears the worst. Fellow Oakmont resident Frank Sullivan has his own concerns: He's convinced that day laborers congregating at the mall are really drug dealers and becomes obsessed with driving out the immigrants he believes threaten his community. As he starts attracting followers, his family faces increasing tensions at home: His wife, Bonnie, is appalled by his xenophobic worldview, while his teenage son, Colin, struggles to cope with his father's racism as his own feelings grow for Marisol Sanchez. When police arrest Colin for drug possession, Frank seizes the opportunity to save his son's future and cleanse Oakmont of foreign invaders. Who will survive the fallout? And where is Felipe? Set amidst a backdrop of social and historical upheaval on both sides of the border, a treacherous deception and a shocking betrayal threaten to unravel the lives of two families in this riveting tale of love, hope, and resilience.

Download or read book The House on Dream Street written by Dana Sachs. This book was released on 2000-09-08. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dana Sachs went to Hanoi when tourist visas began to be offered to Americans; she was young, hopeful, ready to immerse herself in Vietnamese culture. She moved in with a family and earned her keep by teaching English, and she soon found that it was impossible to blend into an Eastern culture without calling attention to her Americanness--particularly in a country where not long ago she would have been considered the enemy. But gradually, Vietnam turned out to be not only hospitable, but the home she couldn't leave. Sachs takes us through two years of eye-opening experiences: from her terrifying bicycle accidents on the busy streets of Hanoi to how she is begged to find a buyer for the remains of American "poes and meeas" (POWs and MIAs). The House on Dream Street is also the story of a community and the people who become inextricably, lovingly, a part of Sachs's life, whether it's her landlady who wonders why at twenty-nine she's not married, the children who giggle when she tries to speak the language, or Phai, the motorcycle mechanic she falls for. The House on Dream Street is both the story of a country on the cusp of change and of a woman learning to know her own heart.

Book excerpt: New edition of poignant selected images from famed Life photographer W. Eugene Smith’s Pittsburgh project. In 1955, having just resigned from his high-profile but stormy career with Life Magazine, W. Eugene Smith was commissioned to spend three weeks in Pittsburgh and produce one hundred photographs for noted journalist and author Stefan Lorant’s book commemorating the city’s bicentennial. Smith ended up staying a year, compiling twenty thousand images for what would be the most ambitious photographic essay of his life. But only a fragment of this work was ever seen, despite Smith's lifelong conviction that it was his greatest collection of photographs. In 2001, Sam Stephenson published for the first time an assemblage of the core images from this project, selections that Smith asserted were the “synthesis of the whole,” presenting not only a portrayal of Pittsburgh but of postwar America. This new edition, updated with a foreword by the poet Ross Gay, offers a fresh vision of Smith's masterpiece.
