The National Center for Family Literacy reports that research shows children’s literacy levels are strongly linked to the literacy levels of their parents, especially their mothers. Literate adults raise healthier and more successful children.

From Newton, Einstein to GOD is a poetic memoir that follows the amazing life of nuclear physicist, Dr. Leong Ying, beginning with his birth into poverty in 1961 in the former British colony of Singapore. His family is able to make their way to England. There, as a child with prophetic abilities and a penchant for daydreaming, Ying turns away from his spirituality and toward the logic of science, ultimately earning a graduate degree in nuclear physics.  Dr. Ying immigrates to the United States and, for a time, chases what he sees as the declining American dream. In this new land, the duality of Ying’s life comes into focus, and he uses science – which he’d formerly applied to deny the existence of God – to reveal the “ultimate godly secrets.” Join Dr. Leong Ying, and me on Tuesday, July 28, 10-11 A.M.

But their prosperous world is suddenly shattered by the violence of the Iranian revolution, and their lives are forever altered in the wake of two brutal crimes: a rape solved by Andalibian’s father, and a murder of which her beloved oldest brother stands accused.  In the ensuing fall from grace, the family is uprooted: first to London, then to California where Andalibian and her brothers suffer a different kind of revolution.
