Summary

I buried the past in a shallow, unmarked grave but it does not rest in peace.
 
In Hannah Zimmers world, the past equals Germany. Defying her mother, she leaves her New Jersey home for Mainz in the autumn of 1972 to study. But a masters degree is just a smokescreen. In reality, she is on a mission to save her Jewish mother, and herself, from self-destruction.
 
Hannahs first priority: contacting Great Uncle Ezra in Frankfurt. He is her secret weapon for battering down the wall of silence obscuring events that occurred before her family emigrated to the United States in the thirties. But will he talk? Will facing the past help her mother? Or worsen the situation? Thats the gamble she takes.
 
An unexpected distraction derails her efforts: two men vie for her favor. In record time Hannah experiences both first love and the pain of broken promises before stumbling headlong into a new relationship. Her happiness is short lived, however, for the consequences of falling in love with the enemy soon propel her family to the edge of tragedy. Even thirty years after the fall of the
Third Reich, aftershocks reverberate. The ghosts that haunt Hannahs dreams shake the foundations of her world and endanger her hope of reconciliation with the immutable past.

    The classic coming-of-age novel about a young Chinese woman torn between Eastern and Western cultures by the Nobel Prize–winning author of The Good Earth.  Kwei-lan is a traditional Chinese girl—taught by her mother to submit in all things, “as a flower submits to sun and rain alike.” Her marriage was arranged before she was born. As she approaches her wedding day, she’s surprised by one aspect of her anticipated life: Her husband-to-be has been educated abroad and follows many Western ideas that Kwei-lan was raised to reject. When circumstances push the couple out of the family home, Kwei-lan finds her assumptions about tradition and modernity tested even further. East Wind: West Wind is a sensitive, early exploration of the cross-cultural themes that went on to become a hallmark of Buck’s acclaimed novels. This ebook features an illustrated biography of Pearl S. Buck including rare images from the author’s estate.
