Unwilling to see Asian American women silenced beneath the noisy discourses of feminists, cultural nationalists, and Eurocentric historians, Wendy Ho turns to specific spoken stories of mothers and daughters. Against reductive tendencies of scholarship, she places her own conversations with her China-born grandmother and her U.S.-born mother and her own readings of other Asian American women writers. She finds in the writings of Maxine Hong Kingston, Amy Tan, and Fae Myenne Ng not only complex mother-daughter relationships but many-faceted relationships to fathers, family, community, and culture. Always resisting the simplistic explanations, In Her Mother's House brings Asian American women's experience as mothers and daughters to the forefront of gender and ethnicity.

The wild, remote, and sparsely populated shores of the Oregon Coast are shrouded in beauty and mystery. Replete with natural wonders, it's a land on the edge. One where the seas meet the trees, and anything is possible. In this volume the authors of Sterncastle Writer's Collective take you on a literary journey along the hiking trails and coastal headlands, out to sea and back, as they explore not only this majestic place they call home but also themselves, their neighbors, and the millions of visitors the Oregon Coast welcomes every year. Whispers Amongst the Trees is a witty, wholesome, complex, and at times terrifying window into a place and a people which are well worth a deeper look.
