Organic Chocolate Cherry Chai Tea Bags - 20 Count | Caffeine-Free Herbal Tea Blend | Perfect for Relaxation, Afternoon Tea & Gifting

Reading this little gem was a rich experience, like sipping a cup of hot, rich chai while sitting in a comfy chair. My daughter gave me this book for Christmas and I read it very slowly. I wanted it to make the journey last. Ms. Burkowicz captured the flavor of Vancouver, as I've experienced it, with its multicultural society. She took me to places I'll likely not ever see and to eras where women have no place in history books. By tying them all together into the story of Maya, she reminds us that we know little about our heritage if we don't ask or pay attention. She shows us how resilient woman must be, and have always had to be.I was impatient with Maya's character, but if she were a real person, I can understand the confusion she would feel in her search for identity is a place where the intersection of cultures, opportunities and expectations collide in a more complicated manner than ever.It's a beautiful testament to the resiliency of women, to be sure, but an additional joy in reading this book, for me was learning about the various cultures from a female perspective. I highly recommend this book.
