Now that the kiddo is a tween, I’ve been lucky to be able to work on another book. Different topic, but no less close to my heart, given our family’s mixed cultures.

Quotes by Tracy Slater (?)

“I felt lost for a moment and then suddenly released. I realized once again how imperfectly my judgments could cull meaning from this strange world, even from this group of potential new relatives. So many of my beliefs and instincts were irrelevant here. I had no choice but to relinquish the task of navigating this place - and now this family - with any real acuity, of anticipating its slights and wounds and managing them or guarding myself from them.”
― Tracy Slater, The Good Shufu: Finding Love, Self, and Home on the Far Side of the World
