"Being a Christian has nothing to do with being Chinese American—that's what Kristin T. Lee learned as a child. A fissure between her identity and what she was told to believe opened wide. In We Mend with Gold, she asks: What if we can bridge the divide?
Lee describes both the breaking of her young faith and the sacred art of repair. She examines how immigrant churches often assimilate to Western theology, even as they offer crucial spaces of belonging. Through lyrical storytelling about her upbringing in Asian immigrant churches as well as in white evangelicalism, Lee wrestles with history, ancestral stories, and what it means to follow Jesus. What might it look like to expand beyond the scripts we've been given and bring our questions to God—as well as building solidarity with the marginalized?
Drawing on Black, Asian, and other minoritized theologians, Lee separates the theology of empire from what Jesus preached and lived. Writing of the fractures in our families, churches, and the world, Lee relies on the Japanese art of kintsugi to describe the resplendence of a faith that repairs but doesn't paper over. And she offers pieces of the Asian American experience that attend to the breaking and the mending, the wounding and the healing. How might marginality bring us closer to God and others?"
"Today's parents are confused, not by a lack of information but too much information—too many theories by too many experts, which leaves them insecure and unsure of their abilities. Parents have become dependent on authority to know how to respond to their own baby or toddler to a frightening degree.
Listen to Your Baby is the antidote to this confusion. This revolutionary book teaches a self-inquiry that creates emotional freedom to be able to see the baby or toddler from an authentic and loving heart. To do so, listeners learn to use The Work of Byron Katie in order to release stressful thoughts that abstract the ability to notice the child as he or she is and then be able to see the baby's valid needs with clarity. The result is a peaceful connection, in which the child feels secure and naturally responds with care and inner peace of his or her own free will.
At the same time, the book also provides a wealth of commonsense solutions and ideas to consider, many of which break the common limiting and complicating narratives. Listen to Your Baby can create a breakthrough in building trust between parents and child and making parents see the obvious with ease."

Set on an organic farm in Santa Cruz, California—where even the most altruistic are flawed—Beet Fields underscores the importance of vigilance in an era of insatiable corporate agribusiness. With determination and courage, Olive confronts malevolent forces, struggling to restore the constancy in her home that she has worked diligently to create."

"Dina was born with deformed feet, adopted by two loving fathers, and raised in a home that tried its best—but she never stopped searching for what was missing. Torn between gratitude and resentment, between feeling wanted and never quite belonging, she spirals into addiction, first love, rebellion, and devastating loss.
When the boy she tried to save dies from an overdose, and the father who never gave up on her lies dying in a hospital bed, Dina is forced to face the cost of everything she's been running from. Through adoption centers in Beijing, classrooms in rural China, and the long road back to herself, she finally learns what love means—not the kind you beg for or apologize for, but the kind you choose, and carry forward.
No Apologies for Love is a raw, unflinching coming-of-age novel about identity, loss, chosen family, and what it takes to choose life—when all you've ever known is how to survive."
