BRIDGE OF SCARLET LEAVES
(Literature & Fiction)

updated May 13, 2015 06:33PM
Description:
As the American daughter of a Japanese immigrant father and Caucasian mother, I'm excited to share a sneak peek of my forthcoming novel, BRIDGE OF SCARLET LEAVES. The story features a violinist named Maddie Kern, who secretly elopes with her Japanese American boyfriend -- the night before Pearl Harbor is bombed. Refusing to be separated from her husband, Maddie dares to voluntarily live in an internment camp. When her husband, Lane, enlists in a secret branch of the U.S. Army to prove his allegiance to America, every character will uncover the truth of those they label "the enemy," while learning where their deepest loyalties lie.
(Reading group guide and Asian-fusion recipes included in the book!)
LETTERS FROM HOME
(Literature & Fiction)
1 chapters
—
updated May 13, 2015 06:33PM
Description:
Inspired by my grandparents' courtship, LETTERS FROM HOME is a WWII love story featuring a Midwestern infantryman who falls deeply in love through a yearlong letter exchange, unaware that the girl he's writing to isn't the one replying. Woven around this tenuous thread are the stories of three female friends whose journeys toward independence take unexpected turns as a result of romance, tragedy, and deception, their repercussions heightened by an era of the unknown.
(Reading group guide and 1940s recipes included in the book!)

"Thank you Ms. McMorris for writing this story! I loved it from page one to the end. I looked for every opportunity to read it. I will most definitely read more books from this author. I just don’t believe she will be able to match this one. Powerful!"

quote
“Some birds are not meant to be caged, that's all. Their feathers are too bright, their songs too sweet and wild. So you let them go, or when you open the cage to feed them they somehow fly out past you. And the part of you that knows it was wrong to imprison them in the first place rejoices, but still, the place where you live is that much more drab and empty for their departure.”
