PIECES OF PAPER is a great story.  I loved Ms. Lin's previous short story, THE TAMING OF MEI LIN, which was a prequel to her debut novel, BUTTERFLY SWORDS.  I thought I understood the power of her voice.  Then I read this lovely contemporary and had to reconsider--she's better than I knew.  Jeannie Lin used a brief timespan and a seemingly simple encounter to craft a story that made me catch my breath. Through it I wondered, What will happen?  The ending was moving without being fluffy or cloying.Brava, Ms. Lin.  I cannot wait for your next release.
