The debut novel from the PEN/Faulkner Award Winning Author of The Buddha in the Attic On a sunny day in Berkeley, California, in 1942, a woman sees a sign in a post office window, returns to her home, and matter-of-factly begins to pack her family's possessions. Like thousands of other Japanese Americans they have been reclassified, virtually overnight, as enemy aliens and are about to be uprooted from their home and sent to a dusty internment camp in the Utah desert. In this lean and devastatingly evocative first novel, Julie Otsuka tells their story from five flawlessly realized points of view and conveys the exact emotional texture of their experience: the thin-walled barracks and barbed-wire fences, the omnipresent fear and loneliness, the unheralded feats of heroism. When the Emperor Was Divine is a work of enormous power that makes a shameful episode of our history as immediate as today's headlines.Binding Type: Paperback

Natural remedy for treating keratosis pilaris (KP).
Scent: Unscented, Size: 2 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
The most pleasant surprise about this tallow balm is that it’s a very effective natural remedy for treating keratosis pilaris (KP). It’s intense moisturizing properties help smooth the "chicken skin" bumps and reduce redness. It’s a natural alternative to conventional lotions by nourishing the skin barrier without harsh chemicals. I couldn’t believe my eyes when I saw the skin texture on the back of my upper arms after rubbing it in. My skin looks and feels much improved when I use it and hopefully will continue to improve over time with continuall use! If you have not found an all natural product to help smooth and reduce KP bumps give this tallow balm a try!

Perfect for dry face or body
Scent: Lavender, Size: 2 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
Love this tallow balm. I use it nightly after my serums and also mix with my foundation so it glides on my dry skin and it looks wonderful. A tiny bit goes a long way. The lavender is a light scent and smells so good. My skin has zero sensitivity to this and in the morning my skin looks great and feels so soft.will be buying mote of this . Excellent for dry skin.

This balm is Magical!
Scent: Vanilla, Size: 2 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
This product was a life saver! After using the same face moisturizer for years, I suddenly became allergic to it. Overnight my face became swollen, red, sores that oozed, it was disgusting, embarrassing, and painful. I was diagnosed and treated for impetigo- which I knew was not the cause. But I didn’t know the cause until it cleared up and I went back to the old moisturizer because I was sure it couldn’t be that after years of use. But it was and I had another outbreak. So I researched an American made product and found this balm. It is magic! Within a week of using it the symptoms were gone! I love the scent, the protection it provides, and just how very soothing it is on my face. It is the right thickness to keep my face from dryness all day long. I love the feel of adding a glow to my skin with a rich oil that is pure and allergy free. I’m on my second jar and will be a loyal customer from here on out!

Best on the Market
Scent: Citrus, Size: 2 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
Been using this product for about 8 months, its all i use. As soon as I get out of the shower, I use it. Then at bed time.
I use nothing else. I wish I knew about this Beef tallow sooner. I am 60, and will continue to use this. My face has never been softer. and My wrinkles are definitely not as prominent.
Great product!!!! Great Price!!!!!
Just but it and try it. You you know instantly. Your face will feel so soft, and moisturized . And its Not Greasy.

Great Skin Conditioner
Scent: Unscented, Size: 2 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
I ordered the unscented, and it is truly unscented. It is solid, but by rubbing you finger around the top of the tallow, it immediately begins softening and melting. I used too much the first time, as it leaves a sticky/tacky film on the skin, so as the instructions say, a little goes a long way. Even though the next time I was careful to use very little, I do think it leaves a little tacky and greasy feeling, but it does soften and protect the skin. My only complaint is that due to the size of the jar, and if you have long fingernails, you can't just rub your finger on top of the tallow without getting it all under your fingernails. I'd like the jar to be changed to a short wide mouth vessel, hence only a 4 star rating.
