In 1986, a small town in West Virginia was under siege from cocaine and Jamaican posse's. This is the story of my life. I too was under siege to cocaine. A perfect storm of addiction, consuming everything in its wake, including me. It is the story of a mother's love for her son, her family, and her unrelenting efforts to break that siege in their lives. A story of redemption and salvation through a personal awakening and the efforts of a community that refused to watch the continued destruction. A roller coaster ride of blood, pain, tears, and fury. Told through the eyes of a man who found himself deep in the belly of a monster; swallowed whole by the white knuckle grip of addiction. A mother's love and her desperate attempt to break the cycle was the path to redemption, but would he choose to follow it?

#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • From the indie rock sensation known as Japanese Breakfast, an unforgettable memoir about family, food, grief, love, and growing up Korean American—“in losing her mother and cooking to bring her back to life, Zauner became herself” (NPR). • CELEBRATING OVER ONE YEAR ON THE NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER LIST In this exquisite story of family, food, grief, and endurance, Michelle Zauner proves herself far more than a dazzling singer, songwriter, and guitarist. With humor and heart, she tells of growing up one of the few Asian American kids at her school in Eugene, Oregon; of struggling with her mother's particular, high expectations of her; of a painful adolescence; of treasured months spent in her grandmother's tiny apartment in Seoul, where she and her mother would bond, late at night, over heaping plates of food. As she grew up, moving to the East Coast for college, finding work in the restaurant industry, and performing gigs with her fledgling band--and meeting the man who would become her husband--her Koreanness began to feel ever more distant, even as she found the life she wanted to live. It was her mother's diagnosis of terminal cancer, when Michelle was twenty-five, that forced a reckoning with her identity and brought her to reclaim the gifts of taste, language, and history her mother had given her. Vivacious and plainspoken, lyrical and honest, Zauner's voice is as radiantly alive on the page as it is onstage. Rich with intimate anecdotes that will resonate widely, and complete with family photos, Crying in H Mart is a book to cherish, share, and reread.

"Shishya is he who sees the living flame within” Shishya “the internal guiding light” will help enlighten and take the reader through a personal journey of self discovery. In this exceptional debut, the spiritual poet, Biri Sangha shares a deep insight into raw emotion and feeling. The tenderness of love and despair when it is gone, compounds Shishya's underlying mood of human nature. The poems capture the very essence of empty yearning through to celebration of self discovery and hope... As you discover the “Shishya” you will discover the path to true light, you will understand the need for the soul to be fragmented before it can be fused together again...stronger, wiser, more beautiful... The testing comes before reinforcing... The hardship comes before the celebration... Death of all fear comes before the birth of a soul reawakened, a child reborn. Most journeys are outwards but the most interesting journey is the journey inwards to the centre of your thoughts. This is where it all begins-the source of all thoughts; the ocean of all sources. As you unearth the realisation that the soul cannot be overcome by life's weathering you will realise the true secret of Shishya. "Where the soul finds reconciliation, resolution, strength, clarity, sense of direction and purpose. This is where we settle all karma and find our true dharma”. "The poems are warmly spontaneous. Exploring the moment, singularly for all its intrinsic joy and celebration. One can feel the soul rising and soaring”.
