Along this journey from China to Chicago, there are many human interest events, funny stories, and enough twists and turns to cause the reader to wonder just what the hell is happening next.PACIFIC BOOK REVIEW
J. T. Gooch takes the reader into the lives of two people, an American named Jack and a Chinese woman named Angela. After Angela teaches a few months, the headmaster charges her with subversive activities and causes her to be placed on trial. The Chief Investigator realizes she and Jack are two love birds from different countries. This amazing book shows there is no depths or bounds with love.

The Silver Mountain Dreams of Love
Rufus Yates
About the Book
After a few friends asked what happened to Will and Josh? Did they get married or what? I said well I never really thought about it but, there is room for more than The Silver Mountain. So I added some love and romance with a little adventure and laughs along with some old fashioned tearful moments.About the Author
Stories from my life adventure in my mind and from other sources I have come across in my life. I find it harder to do the things I’m use to as I age so writing is a way of living in other worlds and live in your dreams. I have discovered the world of the web, where most anyone can find anything if they want to. I hope I can put a few smiles on a few faces with my wit and imagination for a while.
