The book, which hit the local best-seller lists its first week, was the most challenging one for her to write, she said. This was probably the hardest book to write, but in many ways, that was the challenge, to push myself and push the limits of what I want to do as a writer and the limits of what I want to tell. What I want the readers to come away with is their own idea of what the four passages might be. It's a multilayered book, with many ways to define the four passages. That's why I like Cora Yee's cover.
Music is a passage.
Walking around a road is a passage. I tried to play with that meaning for the title. It has been incredible. I did a whole career change. Also, my son was diagnosed with autism at that same time.
