  A critically-acclaimed literary memoir braiding together environmental research and the personal journey of generational healing, grief, and chronic illness. 
  Author Eiren Caffall is the inheritor of a family legacy of two hundred years of genetic kidney disease and the mother of a child who may inherit that legacy. 
  A literary memoir on loss, chronic illness, and generational healing, Caffall’s The Mourner’s Bestiary is also a meditation on grief and survival told through the stories of animals in two collapsing marine ecosystems—the Gulf of Maine and the Long Island Sound—and the lives of a family facing a life-threatening illness on their shores. 
  The Gulf of Maine is the world’s fastest-warming marine ecosystem, and the Long Island Sound has been the site of conservation battles that predict the fights ahead for the Gulf. 
  "Beguiling, idiosyncratic [...] Caffall writes with plangent intensity about our responsibility toward the planet, and her eye for the wonder and beauty of ocean life pierces the illusion of disconnected existence." ? Whiting Creative Nonfiction Grant judges citation 
  "Eiren Caffall has produced some of the most powerful writing on the ecological crisis I have read anywhere. Caffall is a gifted writer, and this book is strong medicine." ? Naomi Klein, author, social activist, and filmmaker

  They were the most powerful gang in Chinatown. Like the notorious crime families of the Italian Mob, the Asian youth gang known as the Ghost Shadows carved out their own territory in New York's underworld and ruled those streets for decades. Their leader Peter Chin, a young immigrant from the outskirts of Hong Kong, not only found a new family among his fellow gang members but became one of the two most powerful men in Chinatown's history at that time. Eventually it all came crashing down—when Chin and twenty-four other Ghost Shadows were indicted and imprisoned for racketeering. But throughout his twenty years in prison, and even since his release, Chin has kept his code of silence. Until now. 
   
   
   
  For the first time ever, the former leader of the Ghost Shadows breaks his silence in this tell-all to author Everett De Morier. From his arrival in New York's gritty Chinatown to his initiation into the street gangs, Chin found a new sense of belonging and brotherhood—as well as a dangerous world of gun fights and gang wars, gambling and extortion, shootings, and arrests. Now a successful businessman, Chin gives listeners a glimpse into why a young man would choose a life of crime—and how he managed to beat the odds and live to tell the tale. Chin's is a story of family, loyalty, and redemption, with an inspiring message of hope for anyone who's made mistakes.
