THE RETURNED
MOTT, JASON
Harold and Lucille Hargrave's lives have been both joyful and sorrowful in the decades since their only
son, Jacob, died tragically at his eighth birthday party in 1966. In their old age they've settled comfortably
into life without him, their wounds tempered through the grace of time.... Until one day Jacob mysteriously
appears on their doorstep-flesh and blood, their sweet, precocious child, still eight years old. All over the
world people's loved ones are returning from beyond. No one knows how or why this is happening,
whether it's a miracle or a sign of the end. Not even Harold and Lucille can agree on whether the boy is
real or a wondrous imitation, but one thing they know for sure: he's their son. As chaos erupts around the
globe, the newly reunited Hargrave family finds itself at the center of a community on the brink of
collapse, forced to navigate a mysterious new reality and a conflict that threatens to unravel the very
meaning of what it is to be human.

RISING SUN FALLING SHADOW
KALLA, DANIEL
It’s 1943, and the Japanese war machine has swallowed up Shanghai,the once-thriving “Paris of the
East,” upending life for its Chinesepopulation as well as the city’s thousands of American, British and
officially stateless European residents. Newlyweds Dr. Franz Adler and his wife, Soon Yi (Sunny), struggle
to keep the city’s only hospital for refugee Jews open, while Shanghai’s Allied citizens are interned in
squalid camps outside the city. The Japanese force 20,000 Jewish refugees, including the Adlers,to
relocate to a one-square-kilometre area in the slums of the city—the Shanghai Ghetto. For those trapped
inside, heat, starvation and disease are constant threats. Sunny, a Shanghai native desperate to defend
her lifelong home, is tempted into the dangerous embrace of the local Resistance movement, while a
mysterious Chinese man brought critically wounded to the hospital may represent an even greater threat.
