The Uncrushable Rose (A memoir from concentration camp to becoming a free woman)
No Customer Reviews
From the back cover, "Wrong...Wrong...Wrong...her mother's words sounded like a gong, over and over, tolling the doom of her destiny--a Chinese born the undesired gender. These words permeated the youth of author Bambi Shen, who, like all Chinese women, has had to contend with the legacy of millennia of cultural subordination and oppression of women. This moving memoir paints life in WWII Japanese concentration camps from Bambi's three-year-old eyes. Near-death experiences there, as interpreted by her Buddhist nanny, formed the foundation of Ms. Shen's philosophy of living in gratitude and being of service to others. In the darkest days of the internment, her diplomat father taught her to learn to thrive in spite of any outer circumstances.
