Christopher Update

Nothing is for sure, but our latest update told us that he will likely be able to start having visits home starting at the beginning of September.  By the end of September he should be home 4 days per week and by the end of October he should be home for good.  We will see, but it does feel like there is light at the end of the tunnel!

Book Reccomendations

I have just finished the second of two books that I would recommend.  The first is called Life and Death in Shanghai  by Nien Cheng.  The second is called The Bridge at Andau by James A. Michener.  Both detail what life is like under communism-- very realistic accounts.  The first is longer but an "easier" read.  If anyone reads either one and wants to discuss them, I would be happy to do so.  I found them both in my local library.
