Am I Asian or American, or something in between?
Am I Christian or Buddhist, or neither one?
Do I wish to be woke or spiritually awake?
Do I identify as Vietnamese or human?
Labeled an alien in the country she calls home, and viewed as a tourist in the homeland where she was born, Thymai Dong-Sheehan ponders these questions as she stumbles through her so-called Asian life.
The Beauties of My So-Called Asian Life is an excavation of identity—from Vietnamese refugee to French teacher, from LSD to PhD, from clueless to God-full. On a journey to make sense of who she has been, who she is, and who she wishes to be, good things come to Thymai in threes: vulnerability, equity, and spirituality.
What this author said about working with us...
I cannot say enough what an amazing experience it was to partner with Luminare Press on the publishing journey for my first book. Being a new author, I was not sure what to expect in terms of the process, and the team was wonderful at walking me through each step. Even from the very beginning, it was easy to understand what they would provide because their price packaging was super easy to understand. The project manager was excellent at explaining what was going to happen next and always communicated to me who would be reaching out to me for each subsequent step. Everyone who had a hand in helping get my book from design to editing to final proofing to publication was a joy to work with and they always treated me kindly and respectfully. I was extremely impressed with the system they have in place and it was obvious how they have streamlined their processes to make it seem effortless to their authors. I would highly recommend Luminare Press to anyone considering their services! Thymai Dong-Sheehan, Ph.D.
