A collection of heartfelt poems that speak of motherhood, growing older and being the daughter of Chinese immigrants. Written in the shadow of the devastating events of 9/11, these beautifully crafted narrative poems reveal heartfelt insights into the emotional life of a contemporary woman in her late 30s - balancing marriage, motherhood, and career - as well as contemplating her experience as the daughter of Chinese immigrants, for whom ambition is a lower priority than survival.

Paperback. Etat : new. Paperback. GIFTS of LOVEGift Books for every occasion and celebration"I began writing these poems in the 1970s, when my children were reaching the age of reason and I as I found myself in the position of becoming a single parent. I needed something special to share with them- something that would become a tradition, something they could always count on."And so the Advent poems began-one day, decades ago-with a poem each day during the holiday season in December. Over the years the messages and topics have evolved and expanded, as did their horizons, but one thing never changed: each poem was a gift of love. The poems were accompanied by a little trinket or sweet for them to enjoy. Forty years (and hundreds of poems) later, my children still look forward to the poems that started a family tradition that new generations have joyfully embraced. (Or. maybe it's the trinkets they love?)" -KCEBooks in this beautiful collection include:InspirationsCelebrationsHeartstringsSojournsAwakeningsSanctuary Heartfelt poems that speak of motherhood, growing older, and being the daughter of Chinese immigrants.
