Sample Book Insights:
#1 My parents fled Macau in 1981, when I was four years old. I was placed on my mother’s lap, and we drove off. I couldn’t see much, just shadows and glimpses of empty cobblestone streets. Macau was built on a peninsula that juts out from the south China coastline. It was connected to two trailing islands by bridges.
#2 I was moved to a new home in Macau, China. I was sandwiched between two very tall beds of unpainted pine, three and four bunks high. Everyone had white-blond angelic hair, except me.
#3 I have two mommies. They are almost opposites in looks: Mommy Esther has a straight, aquiline nose, blue eyes, and straight hair, while Mommy Ruthie has a rounded face, slightly olive skin, dark brown eyes, and frizzy hair. I take after my father, with his white Swedish German skin and light brown hair.
#4 I was in the process of moving to Macau with my mother and father when I got the chance to visit an old Chinese farmhouse that had been left vacant for seven years. It was no wonder the owner was renting it to us for cheap.
