Life lease is a relatively new concept in some jurisdictions. Most people, including real estate brokers and lawyers, may not be familiar with the operations of a life lease, and some people have never heard about it. Since it is not common in many areas, there is a lack of legislation to protect consumers. However, the need for life lease communities has significantly increased due to the baby boomers. This is because most baby boomers can afford life lease style living and would buy them for their retirement. There are different life lease sponsors in the market. Although most of them are non-profit organizations, the prices, quality and services vary among them. I hope this book can help consumers select the right life lease community and provide the sponsors with some ideas to improve their business models.

Edited by Cecilia Manguerra Brainard, CONTEMPORARY FICTION BY FILIPINOS IN AMERICA collects 26 short stories by Filipino and Philippine American writers, including Luis Cabalquinto, Linda Ty-Casper, Jay Ruben Dayrit, Alma Jill Dizon, Ligaya Victoria Fruto, N.V.M. Gonzalez, Vince Gotera, Paulino Lim, Jr., Veronica Montes, Oscar Penaranda, Edgar Poma, Greg Sarris, Eileen Tabios, John Silva, Marianne Villanueva, Fatima Lim-Wilson, and others. First published in the Philippines in 1998, this 2021 US edition of the short story anthology hopes to accommodate librarians, professors, teachers, and students interested in Philippine American literature, books which are still scarce in the US. This collection is considered a valuable literary resource. Harold Augenbraum praised the book for MANOA, saying: "By pulling these personal, fictional quests together, the reader indeed comes away with a varied portrait of Filipinos in America, not the expression of dark causality present in the earlier generations of writers, such as Bulosan and Santos - those fantastic conjurors of Filipino American literature - but of people cautiously settling into what they hope will be a comfortable position ... So many of these stories convey loneliness, disconnectedness, and an inability to form lasting attachments ... This collection abounds with such tension ... Brainard has done a fine job of bringing many little-known writers - and the edginess of Filipinos in America - to the fore. "
