Wonderful book with some profound insights into finding identity, dealing with trauma and abuse of a variety of kinds and how to find your "place" in the world. Gray writes in such a way as to evoke responses to her own story from your own story. I highly recommend reading this book and using it to find healing for yourself and others. ( ) I found this Christian Chinese American memoir inspirational. I liked the structure of memoir, letter to self, notable facts, and discussion questions at the end of each chapter. The author also setup a book club, Facebook group, and live meetings to integrate a community of readers intent on applying the lessons to one's life. Well done. sem resenhas | adicionar uma resenha
This is the story of God whispering, "What no one wants, I cherish." The daughter of a mail-order bride and a busboy from San Francisco's Chinatown, Bonnie Gray grew up never truly feeling beautiful or beloved. As an adult, she built her life to look pleasant and ordinary, with a wonderful husband, two amazing boys, and a thriving career. But despite these blessings, she still felt the tugging emptiness of a missing piece. At 39, a long-forgotten birth certificate in an old file cabinet sparked a curiosity Bonnie couldn't ignore. Determined to uncover her family's secrets and understand the home she was born into, Bonnie embarked on a quest that would leave her forever changed. Returning to the culture, places, and stories that shaped her, her search led her to soul-shaking discoveries about her identity, human kindness and what it truly means to belong. The profoundly moving journey of learning to embrace our true worth, Sweet Like Jasmine celebrates how God uses our unique and broken stories to create a beautiful mosaic of His love, one life at a time.
