Write a review Read reviews Take a Quiz Solve Book Puzzle

Chinese from southeast China flocked to towns and encampments in the Sierra Nevada foothills during the Gold Rush to search for gold. In the communities they established in Fiddletown and Amador County, Chinese immigrants found support and strength despite prevailing anti-Chinese prejudice. This book gives an insight into their experience as they faced pressures from the greater society, while maintaining their customs and connections with each other and with China. The story of the Fiddletown Chinese community is told through the lives of the people who lived in its still existing Chinese herb store (the Chew Kee Store), especially Jimmie Chow, the last Chinese person in Fiddletown.

I Am Untaught

Teach Me The Word

By: Elaine Ng

No one escapes death, and no one knows when to die. I Know Nothing: Teach Me God's Word was written by author Elaine Ng, who steadfastly walked through the trough of death in despair with a husband who also suffered from cancer recurrence and heart failure. The battle for his life triggered a magnificent journey in which they sought intervention in the church, received baptism in time, and God's will allowed her husband to live a year without pain and then die safely with the Lord. But why didn't God heal Him all the way or, for that matter, all the tormented who prayed for God's mercy? What happens to the body, spirit and soul after death? The author, Elaine Ng, did not leave God, but sought truth from God's Word. Built on biblical revelation, this book aspires to bring analysis, confidence, and hope to all readers who are plagued by questions of "why" and "why me.

Tell Me what to Eat If I Have Acid Reflux

Nutrition You Can Live with

By: Elaine Magee

Heartburn isn't just a minor inconvenience it is very painful and can inhibit your sleep, affect your work and make you feel miserable. Of course, if you are one of the millions of people who get heartburn at least once a month, you already know this. Heartburn happens when the lining of the oesophagus comes in contact with too much stomach juice, which can produce a burning pain and injure the oesophagus. There is a valve that connects the end of the oesophagus with the stomach, which normally functions to keep the stomach acid where it belongs in the stomach. But in people with frequent heartburn, this valve relaxes too frequently, allowing the stomach acid to splash up into the oesophagus.

Material Girls

A Novel

By: Elaine Dimopoulos

In this dystopian thriller, fashion is making everyone a victim: “A captivating and fast-paced ride” (Joelle Charbonneau, New York Times–bestselling author of The Testing trilogy). In Marla Klein and Ivy Wilde’s world, teens are the gatekeepers of culture. A top fashion label employs sixteen-year-old Marla to dictate hot new clothing trends, while Ivy, a teen pop star, popularizes the garments that Marla approves. Both girls are pawns in a calculated but seductive system of corporate control, and both begin to question their world’s aggressive levels of consumption. Now they’re joining forces to subversively resist and overturn the industry that controls every part of their lives . . . Smart, provocative, and entertaining, this thrilling page-turner questions the cult-like mentality of fame and fashion. Are you in or are you out? “Through its likable characters, sly humor, and smart, fast-moving plot, this entertaining debut raises serious questions about the costs of disposable fashion and pursuit of celebrity.” —Kirkus Reviews

The Newport Girls

A Memoir

By: Elaine Colton

At the tender age of eleven, Elaine Colton moved to Newport, Rhode Island, to live with her Navy civilian engineer father. Life had already been difficult for Elaine, having lost her mother at an early age; she desperately needed a friend to stand by her side. Instead, she got not one, but "fifteen" friends who supported her from childhood through adulthood for the next fifty years. Warm, witty, and full of love, "The Newport Girls" chronicles Colton's extraordinary lifelong relationship with her closest girlfriends. Beginning in 1952, Colton relates meeting Leenie Callahan, a girl who lived across the street, and how the two soon became best friends. They expanded their friendship circle in high school to include other like-minded girls. Together, these friends modeled for the local department store, wrote columns for the school paper, and enjoyed their carefree high school years. Despite the girls' wide dispersal around the country following graduation, they never lost affection for each other. Through marriages, career changes, children, financial hardships, divorce, and even death, the bond these women maintained for so long continued to hold strong. Along with numerous snapshots, other Newport Girls share their experiences in touching personal essays. In a story of the power of enduring friendship, the Newport Girls were always there for each other-and still are today.

Another friend stated, "These stories are outrageous!" and his statement gave me an idea for the subtitle. My reply to these friends is, "But they are all true. In fact, you should have heard the ones I rejected, in the interest of propriety." According to my three children, belonging to a family in which both parents are physicians requires a strong constitution. Stories shared at the dinner table were sometimes funny, sometimes heartbreaking, sometimes carried a moral, and often involved gory details, which my children would have preferred we left out. One of the stories with a moral was that of a teenager, who hitched a ride with a man, who was driving drunk. In the accident, which caused the young man to be brought to the E. R., he sustained severe abdominal injuries and lost his spleen. That day the moral of the story was, "Do not hitch hike!" DUI, became the dinner topic on the day when an injured, drunk patient was brought in to the E. R. after running his car into a parked patrol cruiser. My stories are short and pithy. They will make you laugh. They will make you cry. They will make you shake your head, for whatever reason. They will make you wish you had shared a story. They will make you healthy, because laughter is good medicine.

Communication in Palliative Nursing

The COMFORT Model

By: Elaine Wittenberg,Joy V. Goldsmith,Sandra L. Ragan,Terri Ann Parnell

Communication in Palliative Nursing presents the COMFORT Model, a theoretically-grounded and empirically-based model of palliative care communication. Built on over a decade of communication research with patients, families, and interdisciplinary providers, and reworked based on feedback from hundreds of nurses nationwide, the chapters outline a revised COMFORT curriculum: Connect, Options, Making Meaning, Family caregivers, Openings, Relating, and Team communication. Based on a narrative approach to communication, which addresses communication skill development, this volume teaches nurses to consider a universal model of communication that aligns with the holistic nature of palliative care. This work moves beyond the traditional and singular view of the nurse as patient and family educator, to embrace highly complex communication challenges present in palliative care-namely, providing care and comfort through communication at a time when patients, families, and nurses themselves are suffering. In light of the vast changes in the palliative care landscape and the increasingly pivotal role of nurses in advancing those changes, this second edition provides an evidence-based approach to the practice of palliative nursing. Communication in Palliative Nursing integrates communication theory and health literacy constructs throughout, and provides clinical tools and teaching resources to help nurses enhance their own communication and create comfort for themselves, as well as for patients and their families.

Marilou Is Everywhere

A Novel

By: Sarah Elaine Smith

Finalist for the L.A. Times Book Prize for First Fiction One of NPR’s Favorite Books of 2019 A SKIMM READS PICK A BELLETRIST BOOK CLUB PICK "This novel reads like a miracle." —NPR Consumed by the longing for a different life, a teenager flees her family and carefully slips into another — replacing a girl whose own sudden disappearance still haunts the town. Fourteen-year-old Cindy and her two older brothers live in rural Pennsylvania, in a house with occasional electricity, two fierce dogs, one book, and a mother who comes and goes for months at a time. Deprived of adult supervision, the siblings rely on one another for nourishment of all kinds. As Cindy's brothers take on new responsibilities for her care, the shadow of danger looms larger and the status quo no longer seems tolerable. So when a glamorous teen from a more affluent, cultured home goes missing, Cindy escapes her own family's poverty and slips into the missing teen's life. As Jude Vanderjohn, Cindy is suddenly surrounded by books and art, by new foods and traditions, and most important, by a startling sense of possibility. In her borrowed life she also finds herself accepting the confused love of a mother who is constitutionally incapable of grasping what has happened to her real daughter. As Cindy experiences overwhelming maternal love for the first time, she must reckon with her own deceits and, in the process, learn what it means to be a daughter, a sister, and a neighbor. Marilou Is Everywhere is a powerful, propulsive portrait of an overlooked girl who finds for the first time that her choices matter.
