Publisher's Summary
A rich, warm, intergenerational time-travel story for ages nine and up
Maya loves to cook with her grandmother - her Halmunee - to connect with the rich family history associated with each dish, a history Maya's mom would prefer stayed in the past. While cooking with Halmunee, something remarkable happens - the food creates such a strong memory that Maya and Halmunee are transported back in time through the memory itself. Halmunee explains that the women in her family have the gift of time travel through food and Maya can do it too, if she practices. While eating her way through the past, Maya meets Jeff: another young time traveler who brings her to the Golden Orchard, a garden of memories filled with the trees of so many people's lives. Maya learns that time moves in ways she couldn't imagine and sometimes family keep their memories secret to protect the ones they love.

This hilarious, heartfelt, and soaring adventure will delight fans of The Goonies and Indiana Jones. Performed as a 1930s radio drama, it’s bursting with humor for all ages, orchestral scoring, and some of the most talented voices on Broadway. When their ace pilot parents (and adorable puppy) mysteriously disappear over the Pacific, the Flamingo Sisters - Flo, Faye, and Franny - escape the clutches of their evil Uncle Freidrich (who believes girls should never pilot aeroplanes) and join a flying circus.

At once profoundly personal and far-reaching, Exit Interview with My Grandmother serves as a meditation on the beginning of a young woman’s life and the series of questions that arise from examining love, loss, family, memory, and death. Moving between cities and centuries, Meyersohn probes her family's Jewish history and her grandparents' relationships in part to decipher her own young queer relationships, but also to examine how we ought to behave in the face of a world riddled with uncertainty and doubt.

In 10 lectures, award-winning historian Patrick N. Allitt transports listeners to England in the 1840s and 1850s. During those two decades, Queen Victoria's husband, Prince Albert, became one of the most influential people in the country and remains a figure of fascination even today. In fact, the British royal family as we know it wouldn't exist without the private and public actions of this detached, impartial, and upright political figure.

The tide is turning against the colonists in the Revolutionary War, and 18-year-old Elizabeth Morris cannot sit by idly. Quietly disdainful of her Tory parents, who drag her along to society events and welcome a British soldier into their home during their occupation of New York City, Elizabeth decides to take matters into her own hands. She realizes that, as a young woman, no one around her believes that she can comprehend the profound implications of being a nation at war - she is, effectively, invisible. And she can use this invisibility to her advantage.

Go Behind the Scenes of The Golden Orchard
Publisher's Summary
A rich, warm, intergenerational time-travel story for ages nine and up
Maya loves to cook with her grandmother - her Halmunee - to connect with the rich family history associated with each dish, a history Maya's mom would prefer stayed in the past. While cooking with Halmunee, something remarkable happens - the food creates such a strong memory that Maya and Halmunee are transported back in time through the memory itself. Halmunee explains that the women in her family have the gift of time travel through food and Maya can do it too, if she practices. While eating her way through the past, Maya meets Jeff: another young time traveler who brings her to the Golden Orchard, a garden of memories filled with the trees of so many people's lives. Maya learns that time moves in ways she couldn't imagine and sometimes family keep their memories secret to protect the ones they love.

This is a book/subject I would not normally read. I found myself drawn into a plot that had unexpected twists. It was fascinating following Maya’s life. I thoroughly enjoyed learning about Korean culture and food. I’m anxious to try the food mentioned in this book. I’m not the target audience- being a 61 year old woman, but I think this book can be enjoyed by any age. I hope there will be more!

Delicious!
Oh, wow! What an innovative take on time travel! This is a beautiful story and filled with delicious descriptions of Korean food. There is a twist I never saw coming! Great for kids and family time (or, honestly, for adults who like good stories).

One of the BEST reads (listens?) on audible! I would love to see a part 2
I didn’t have high expectations because 1) it was an audible original and they can generally be pretty lukewarm or a complete miss. Also the description said 9 years and up which I noticed after I started the first chapter of the book so I was concerned that it would be geared more towards tweens.
Great book for adults wanting a nice clean and engaging story. Even a great family friendly book to read together. Excellent writing, excellent story, loved the twists, and the narrator did an awesome job, I found myself even attempting to pronounce some of the Korean dishes mentioned in the story. I really hope the author does a part 2.

Beautiful and delightful!
THE GOLDEN ORCHARD is for kids age 9 and older. I'm 67 years beyond age 9 but I loved it maybe because I'm in my second childhood. This novel has two interesting foci: (1) Korean food in the Korean-American community and (2) time travel into the past (but not the future). The plot/story, the writing and the narration are superb.

Pleasant tale with flavor.
Perfect for when you want fiction that is positive, light but not is not trite.

Good modern Korean Fable
Time travel, mother daughter angst, and American Korean culture combine to make a heartbreaking and heartwarming story.
