The romance between Amy and Rika was very engaging. Everyone gets a moment to shine, which I’m glad for as I was worried when I saw how big the cast is. Each character moves the other forward in their arc and development. All of these conflicts and storylines weave together and build off of each other. Luke is hiding her gender, Rika is hiding her name and history, and Amy is hiding her sexuality. Hidden identity is a theme I love and here it was explored so well. Along with all of that, Luke still hasn’t revealed to her two daughters that she is a woman, despite them both being old enough to keep the secret. Rika comes to Oregon pretending to be her her dead friend to be a mail order bride to a man who works on the farm. She also feels an attraction to women that she struggles with but is able to keep locked down – that is until she meets Rika. Amy has grown up under the love of her parents and given much more freedom than most women in her age. Hidden Truths is the sequel set 17 years later and focuses more on Luke and Nora’s eldest daughter Amy and her romance with newcomer to the horse ranch, Rika. I loved the story of Luke and Nora in Backwards to Oregon by Jae, in which a woman in disguise as a man marries another woman in what starts as a fake relationship to help each other on the long Oregon trial, turns into a romantic, slow burn favorite of mine.

The paper discusses regulatory implications and the type of services suited to exploit narrowband spaces. However, the narrowband nature of the 400 MHz licences and high licensing turnover imply a significantly different concept of dynamic spectrum access than that considered for TV Bands. Encouraging dynamic spectrum usage of narrowband spaces could, similarly to TV white space usage help realise the efficient allocation of the 400 MHz band. Drawing parallels with the high economic value revealed and generated through the operations of unlicensed white space devices in UHF broadcast spectrum, we identify untapped 400 MHz spectrum capacity, which we refer to as narrowband spaces. It is therefore difficult to ascertain the economically efficient mix of services to deploy in the 400MHz band. 400 MHz frequencies are not priced on opportunity cost. However, productive spectrum usage does not guarantee allocative efficiency, which would require knowledge of the highest value service for each licence. As opposed to UHF broadcast spectrum, which contains unassigned or idle segments known as white spaces, the 400MHz band is characterised by intensive licence usage. We examine the potential for expansion of the white space spectrum sharing model in the 400 MHz band. Let’s chat a little bit about the new book.
