DESCRIPTION:The Boys in the Boat: Nine Americans and Their Epic Quest for Gold at the 1936 Berlin Olympics\, by Daniel James Brown\nFrom Amazon: \nFor readers of Unbroken\, out of the depths of the Depression comes an irresistible story about beating the odds and finding hope in the most desperate of times—the improbable\, intimate account of how nine working-class boys from the American West showed the world at the 1936 Olympics in Berlin what true grit really meant. \nIt was an unlikely quest from the start. With a team composed of the sons of loggers\, shipyard workers\, and farmers\, the University of Washington’s eight-oar crew team was never expected to defeat the elite teams of the East Coast and Great Britain\, yet they did\, going on to shock the world by defeating the German team rowing for Adolf Hitler. The emotional heart of the tale lies with Joe Rantz\, a teenager without family or prospects\, who rows not only to regain his shattered self-regard but also to find a real place for himself in the world. Drawing on the boys’ own journals and vivid memories of a once-in-a-lifetime shared dream\, Brown has created an unforgettable portrait of an era\, a celebration of a remarkable achievement\, and a chronicle of one extraordinary young man’s personal quest.

SUMMARY:Monthly Book Club
DESCRIPTION:The Island of Sea Women\, by Lisa See \nFrom Amazon: Mi-ja and Young-sook\, two girls living on the Korean island of Jeju\, are best friends who come from very different backgrounds. When they are old enough\, they begin working in the sea with their village’s all-female diving collective\, led by Young-sook’s mother. As the girls take up their positions as baby divers\, they know they are beginning a life of excitement and responsibility—but also danger. \nDespite their love for each other\, Mi-ja and Young-sook find it impossible to ignore their differences. The Island of Sea Women takes place over many decades\, beginning during a period of Japanese colonialism in the 1930s and 1940s\, followed by World War II\, the Korean War\, through the era of cell phones and wet suits for the women divers. Throughout this time\, the residents of Jeju find themselves caught between warring empires. Mi-ja is the daughter of a Japanese collaborator. Young-sook was born into a long line of haenyeo and will inherit her mother’s position leading the divers in their village. Little do the two friends know that forces outside their control will push their friendship to the breaking point.
