I spent about four or five hours yesterday climbing up and down the attic ladder taking clearing the space out, and this morning my body is feeling every minute of it. My garage has boxes and boxes of stuff piled high that I haven’t even thought of in years. I have been reminding myself of this every time I question whether or not to save it or get rid of it. My old motto was to save things “Just in case” or “I am sure my kids will want this when they are older.” News flash… they don’t. Of course I am saving old family pictures and military items from my grandfather and dad. However, I am not saving picture frames from 10 years ago and clothes that are worn and outdated, electronics that are fried, or old party supplies. Physically the whole process is very tiring, but mentally it is making me feel lighter and lighter. I might even be able to have a garage sale this weekend. Probably not, since I will be recovering from climbing that ladder a thousand times, but I can dream.

A Single Swallow
by Zhang Ling, Shelly Bryant
Genre: Historical Fiction
FREE for a limited time
The eagerly awaited English translation of award-winning author Zhang Ling’s epic and intimate novel about the devastation of war, forgiveness, redemption, and the enduring power of love.
On the day of the historic 1945 Jewel Voice Broadcast — in which Emperor Hirohito announced Japan’s surrender to the Allied forces, bringing an end to World War II — three men, flush with jubilation, made a pact. After their deaths, each year on the anniversary of the broadcast, their souls would return to the Chinese village of their younger days. It’s where they had fought — and survived — a war that shook the world and changed their own lives in unimaginable ways. Now, seventy years later, the pledge is being fulfilled by American missionary Pastor Billy, brash gunner’s mate Ian Ferguson, and local soldier Liu Zhaohu.
All that’s missing is Ah Yan — also known as Swallow — the girl each man loved, each in his own profound way.
As they unravel their personal stories of the war, and of the woman who touched them so deeply during that unforgiving time, the story of Ah Yan’s life begins to take shape, woven into view by their memories. A woman who had suffered unspeakable atrocities, and yet found the grace and dignity to survive, she’d been the one to bring them together. And it is her spark of humanity, still burning brightly, that gives these ghosts of the past the courage to look back on everything they endured and remember the woman they lost.
