Blurb Some stories come free quite unexpectedly, quite beautifully. This is one of them. Woven around an engaging yet unassuming character, this tale will tug at your heartstrings as it lucidly tells itself with compelling assurance. The protagonist, Yangchen, seems at times rather ordinary. At other times ethereal, perhaps even spectral. Her story is one of triumph and loss, of love and longing, of hope and innocence. It is also about growing up and growing apart inasmuch as it is about picking up the pieces and soldiering on. (Novel)
