This collection of stories illustrates the strange situation of the contemporary Tsinay, the Chinese-Filipina, and the constant dilemmas and contradictions that she faces daily, from inheriting slave-girls, to not having a specific birthday, to still being subject to arranged marriages. These are all true stories, though the names and circumstances have been fictionalized. Yet Xin-Mei skillfully weaves the tales of these Chinese-Filipinas and tells their stories with much insight, humor, and compassion.
