Based on the sample your book sounds awesome Debbie - you were in China at an interesting time, a decade before I landed and of course before the 2008 Olympics changed so much - just pre-ordered a digital copy since I’m here in Japan - it says tomorrow is the release. Congratulations on bringing it out into the world and all the work that no doubt went into it….I resisted saying No Daot. But then, there I’ve done it. Much love from Kamakura

Thank you Kamukura! 🙏 Great you got in the order while the discount applies. Yes tomorrow!!! Amazon could be a few days behind because of time differences before its delivered to your device. Yes - my first arrival was at an interesting time and I saw so much change. "no dao" is a very daoist thing to say!😂

I love how you describe those shivering moment in life, like stepping through a magical portal...and 白云观 is my favourite spot in Beijing too! Thank you for sharing this.
