    About this ebook

    Well Water Woman is the personal narrative of a Chinese American female who explores and reconstructs her journey from girlhood to womanhood. Two generations of memories are explored in an attempt to piece together all the snippets of information about the life of their predecessor, the paternal grandmother she never met but whose living legacy she embodies. This short memoir explores the inner workings of spirit through the cycle of birth, life, death and eternity.

      Apr 16, 2021

      I am the last born of four daughters in an Indian family, which obviously means my birth was a tragedy. Well, at least for those who congratulated my mother with, ‘I’m so sorry,’ or, ‘Better luck next time,’ or who said things amongst themselves like

      The Joys Of Reading With A Second Grader
