Tofu Quilt

Tofu Quilt

Growing up in Hong Kong in the 1960s, Yeung Ying is tired of hearing how important boys are. After all, she can write letters and recite poems as well asâ€”even better thanâ€”her boy cousins.

Luckily, Yeung Yingâ€™s mother thinks "girls and boys are just the same." Despite protests from her husbandâ€™s family, Ma uses what little money the family has to send her daughter to private school. There Yeung Ying begins to fall in love with books and writing. Combining this new passion with the colorful experiences of her daily life, Yeung Ying discovers that even girls can dare to dream.

In her first collection of poems, Ching Yeung Russell captures elements of her youth in rich, vivid snapshots and authentic detail. Readers of all backgrounds will relate to spirited Yeung Ying, her dynamic family, and her courage in the face of lifeâ€™s obstacles.
