If the sun never sets / by Huang, Ana,author.;
Five years ago, he broke her heart. Now, he'll do anything to win her back. When Farrah walked into her lunch meeting, she didn't expect to see him. Blake Ryan. Her first love, her first heartbreak, and now, her first client as a freelance interior designer. It's been five years, but she'll never forget the way he shattered her. He whispers pretty words, but she'll never believe him. Her body craves his, but she'll never give him her heart. Not again. Not ever. Money. Looks. A booming sports bar empire. On the surface, Blake has it all. But inside, he's haunted - both by nightmares of a tragic loss and dreams of the girl he once betrayed. When fate reunites them, he sees it as a sign: it's time to get the love of his life back. No matter what it takes.

Killing the rising sun : how America vanquished World War II Japan / by O'Reilly, Bill,author.; Dugard, Martin,author.;
Includes bibliographical references and index.Autumn 1944. World War II is nearly over in Europe but is escalating in the Pacific, where American soldiers face an opponent who will go to any length to avoid defeat. The Japanese army follows the samurai code of Bushido, stipulating that surrender is a form of dishonor. This book takes readers to the bloody tropical-island battlefields of Peleliu and Iwo Jima and to the embattled Philippines, where General Douglas MacArthur has made a triumphant return and is plotting a full-scale invasion of Japan. Across the globe in Los Alamos, New Mexico, Dr. J. Robert Oppenheimer and his team of scientists are preparing to test the deadliest weapon known to mankind. In Washington, DC, Harry Truman ascends to the presidency after FDR dies in office, only to face the most important political decision in history: whether to use that weapon. And in Tokyo, Emperor Hirohito, who is considered a deity by his subjects, refuses to surrender, despite a massive and mounting death toll. This epic saga details the final moments of World War II like never before.--Adapted from dust jacket.

Out of the sun : on race and storytelling / by Edugyan, Esi,author.;
Includes bibliographical references and index.History is a construction. What happens when we begin to consider stories at the margins, when we grant them centrality?

Esi Edugyan is a two-time Scotiabank Giller Prize winner who lives in Victoria, BC.
