Demonstrating warmth, ease, and a sense of humor about herself, Paterson relates tales from her life, looping naturally through her youthful experiences in China and Japan, her marriage and children, and her writing. The book ends with an account of Paterson's husband's death in 2013; like almost everything she writes, the chapter is honest, flecked with good sense and humor, and heartrending. Timeline.
