Natasha's Legend

Natasha Tse Stone is a feisty and glamorous septugenarian who has seen it all: born in a privileged household, surviving the self-criticizing sessions of the Cultural Revolution, escaping to Hong Kong and exploring passionate liaisons in a world where traditional values were in upheaval, and finally starting a new life in the USA... only to have her skull crushed in a horrific San Francisco car accident from which doctors said she would remain a vegetable forever. Overcoming impossible odds, she faced the need to rebuild her body and mind as well as her life in a new world. Natasha speaks from the heart in the courageous, passionate voice of a woman who has lived many lives and celebrates all her experiences. With remarkable use of language and imagery that draws from her trilingual fluency, Natasha's raw but eloquent narrative repeatedly compelled members of her writing club to tears; there is something in this book for everyone who has felt love, pain, oppression, and beauty.
