Our family lived in Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia (Central Asia) from 1995-2000. Yet, it was only recently that I experimented with the short story format to capture the essence of our memories. For some, I played the role of a ghost writer, taking on my children’s point of view. Peter, Joanna, and Mary went with us to the ends of the earth and came out better for it.
I dedicate the book to the friends who supported us financially during those years and to those who helped me write and rewrite and rewrite until the stories “spoke” with a narrative arc of the Acculturation Process.
Last, enormous thanks to LAUREL SPRENGER, my illustrator who brought COLOR and LIGHT to my memories.
