The widow said she was too old. The scholar said he didn't care. The sister said she'd drink his bathwater and someone needed to do something about this immediately. She told herself thirty-eight was too old for plum blossoms and beginnings and a young scholar who chose Zhuangzi on purpose. She was wrong about all of it. Ink and Longing — a Joseon love story about philosophy, patience, and one spectacularly unfiltered sister who was right about everything from the beginning.

A Living Next Door to Heaven Story
Brian was the runty little brain of 4th grade and a victim of bullies until next door neighbor Joanne, two years older, became his guardian angel. Bigger guys protected him and girls made him part of their inner circle. Because Joanne said so. But somewhere along the line, Brian becomes the protector instead of the protected. At 15, his dozen girlfriends make the story interesting. There are no sexual situations in the first 12 chapters and no penetration for a long time. It's still sex, though. / (Reviews)
