“Bold, original, and utterly captivating, The Apology is a sweeping intergenerational saga, delivered by one of the sharpest, most memorable voices I’ve ever read. A stunning new novel by a writer whose work I’ve long admired.” —Kirstin Chen, author of Counterfeit

In South Korea, a 105-year-old woman receives a letter. Ten days later, she has been thrust into the afterlife, fighting to head off a curse that will otherwise devastate generations to come.
 
Jeonga Cha has always shouldered the burden of upholding the family name. When she sent her daughter-in-law to America to cover up an illegitimate birth, she was simply doing what was needed to preserve the reputations of her loved ones. How could she have known that decades later, this decision would return to haunt her—threatening to tear apart her bond with her beloved son, her relationship with her infuriatingly insolent sisters, and the future of the family she has worked so hard to protect?
 
Part ghost story and part family epic, The Apology is an incisive tale of sisterhood and diaspora, reaching back to the days of Japanese colonialism and the Korean War, and told through the singular voice of a defiant, funny, and unforgettable centenarian.

The Apology by Jimin Han Read by Kathleen Kim - Audiobook Excerpt

Amy Dickinson--the voice behind America's most popular advice column "Ask Amy" and NYT bestselling author of The Mighty Queens of Freeville--returns with her follow-up memoir of family, second chances, and finding love.

--------

Picking up where her earlier memoir The Mighty Queens of Freeville left off (more than 131,000 copies in print), Dickinson presents a new memoir of linked essays, creating  a moving narrative exploring central themes of romance, death, parenting, health, and spiritual awakening.  This is the material that feeds her column "Ask Amy," but now she takes readers inside her own life.  Amy writes about her love life, then her life-changing love affair and marriage to Bruno, the blending of their five children, parenting and step-parenting, caring for her ailing mother, and finding happiness in love and family.

Touching, heartfelt and funny, titles of the essays include: 

·  "A Sense of Place" getting readers up-to-date on her life as well as orienting them to the locations described in the book

·  "A Brief History of Romance" sharing the short history of Amy's love life

·  "What Happened Next" discussing a life-changing love affair

·  "Cat and Bear" revealing Amy's illustrated romance fable

·  "We Do--Getting Married" discussing her late-in-life marriage to a childhood friend.

·  "All the Single Ladies" detailing her experience with step-parenting

·  "Heroic Measures" sharing how she managed, and coped with, her mother's final days

·  "Does it Spark Joy" telling us about of her mother's possessions that have been left behind and the sentiments they trigger

·  "How to Use a Saw" surprising us with the unexpected lessons yielded from cutting down a tree

·  "I've Got the Music In Me" finding solace in music helps her find her voice

·  "Self Helping" sharing the hazards of her constant attraction toward self-improvement, a direct result of her time spent as an advice columnist
