Mean moms : a novel / by Rosenblum, Emma,author.;
"A deliciously satisfying and suspenseful story about what happens when a clique of wealthy Manhattan private school moms start getting a taste of exactly what they deserve, instead of just what they can pay for. Meet Frost, Morgan, and Nell -- a wealthy, gorgeous group of New York City moms, the queen bees of downtown Manhattan. Their children attend Atherton Seminary, the top private school in the city, and their social lives revolve around elaborate themed parties. On the first day of school, the arrival of a new mom and mysterious beauty from Miami named Sofia shakes up their world. When Sofia quickly integrates herself into their clique, inexplicably bad things start to happen to the women. Frost is the victim of a hit-and-run electric scooter incident. Nell's dream of launching a fashion line is thwarted when the clothing samples cause people to break out in a rash. Morgan's new sound bath spa is robbed at gunpoint by a moped-driving thief. Morgan declares it all a "negative event cluster," but the other women aren't so sure. Is someone at school out to get them? Another mom with a vendetta? Let's not forget to mention the handsome headmaster, Dr. Broker, who every mom has a crush on (and one of them might be sleeping with). Spanning the course of one eventful Fall in New York, ending with a Surrealist New Year's Eve Ball -- and a possible death, Mean Moms is part satire of upper crust mom-ing and part mystery, interrogating the line between friendship and jealousy, and getting at the question of: What would happen if the woman standing next to you at school pick up was actually a sociopath?"--

The migrant rain falls in reverse : a memoir / by Nguyen, Vinh(Associate professor),author.;
"With the Fall of Saigon on April 30, 1975, the war in Vietnam ended, but the refugee crisis was only beginning. Among the millions of people who fled Vietnam by boat was Vinh Nguyen, along with his mother and siblings, and his father, who left separately and mysteriously vanished in the open waters. Decades later, Nguyen goes looking for answers. What he discovers is a sea of questions and buried truths. To find his father -- and anchor himself in the present -- Nguyen must piece together the debris of history with family stories that have been scattered across generations and continents, kept for years in broken hearts and guarded silences. The Migrant Rain Falls in Reverse is the intricate exploration of a searching mind. By returning to the past, Nguyen sheds light on the psyche of a grieving person who chases certainty and seeks resolution. As the fiftieth anniversary of the end of the Vietnam War approaches, Nguyen takes readers on a poignant tour of disappeared refugee camps, abandoned family homes and sinking boats. Along the way he examines strange reunions, stunted languages and unspoken conversations, and explores final films, migration photographs and impossible decisions. Part fractured reminiscence, part invented history and part fictional fabulation, Nguyen's story is about learning to live with what's already lost and the memories of what might have been"--

For king and Kanata : Canadian Indians and the First World War / by Winegard, Timothy C.(Timothy Charles),1977-author.;
Includes bibliographical references and index."The first comprehensive history of the Aboriginal First World War experience on the battlefield and the home front. When the call to arms was heard at the outbreak of the First World War, Canada's First Nations pledged their men and money to the Crown to honour their long-standing tradition of forming military alliances with Europeans during times of war, and as a means of resisting cultural assimilation and attaining equality through shared service and sacrifice. Initially, the Canadian government rejected these offers based on the belief that status Indians were unsuited to modern, civilized warfare. But in 1915, Britain intervened and demanded Canada actively recruit Indian soldiers to meet the incessant need for manpower. Thus began the complicated relationships between the Imperial Colonial and War Offices, the Department of Indian Affairs, and the Ministry of Militia that would affect every aspect of the war experience for Canada's Aboriginal soldiers. In his groundbreaking new book, For King and Kanata,Timothy C. Winegard reveals how national and international forces directly influenced the more than 4,000 status Indians who voluntarily served in the Canadian Expeditionary Force between 1914 and 1919 -- a per capita percentage equal to that of Euro-Canadians -- and how subsequent administrative policies profoundly affected their experiences at home, on the battlefield, and as returning veterans"--
