SEEDS OF CHANGE · MEMOIR III
Journeys II
A story of partnership, reinvention, changing worlds, and the life that grew between them.
Journeys II moves into the years that followed - partnership, marriage, immigration, work, reinvention, illness, and the continuing business of building a life. Through stories both humorous and reflective, it explores what happens when two people, two cultures, and two very different worlds learn to live alongside each other.
