by Adeline Yen Mah
Memoir of Adeline Yen Mah, based in China in the 1950s. Her mother died following her birth. Since then she was the cursed, unforgotten child. After her father remarried, her stepmother mistreated Yen Mah and her siblings.

Cycling Home from Siberia
by Rob Lilwall
This book takes the reader from Siberia through Japan to Papua New Guinea and Southeast Asian, to Karakoram, Afghanistan and eventually back to the United Kingdom. All through the eyes of Rob who had decided to quit his job as a geography teacher and settle for something more relaxing- cycling home from Siberia. Entertaining and inspirational indeed.
