Our Precious Bond
Identical twin sisters, right from early childhood, have to face complex situations that threaten to sever their tight bond. Nonetheless, by stark determination and by supporting each other in quite unconventional ways, Venice becomes a defense lawyer and Geneva an emergency room doctor. However, secret loves, depression, alcoholism, and schizophrenia lurk sinisterly, threatening to beat them down. This book is their story. It has many great joyful moments and many excruciatingly painful and sad ones. But overall, it is a triumph of love. The book does not sensationalize mental illness. It makes a great effort to bring awareness, authentically, to the disease and how it affects the person, their families (and other loved ones), and the community.

The Many Layered Skirt
In the 1930s and 40s, Man Sheung is a young girl, in a country gone mad with Japanese threats, invasion and occupation. She desperately longs for an education, but; instead, finds herself manoeuvring the horrible stench and sights on the streets of Kowloon Tong, tripping over rogue bodies (dead or dying, some quartered with pieces missing--food for the starving), trying to get the meagre rice ration, needed to keep her family alive. She escapes by refugee boat to Mainland China, treks high above the midstream of the Yangtze to a school, in a Ming Dynasty built hermitage, but soon has to evacuate. All alone, she keeps one heart-pounding step ahead of the ruthless enemy. Numbed and emotionally at the breaking point, she gets to Chungking. The Sino-Japanese war ends.

Even though, China is now at Civil War, primitive instinct drives her homeward.
THE TUAREG LADIES
Tess has Multiple-Personality Disorder. Struggling to meet the demands of her professional life while desperately trying to keep her personal life private, she becomes introverted and friendless. She feels her alters “switching” and the unraveling of her mental being, viscerally. Her tenuous hope for recovery is as fragile as her emotions. “Shattering” is her constant fear. Marlene writes with great facility. Her writing is intelligent; her prose is poetic. In my practice, I’ve treated patients with Multiple-Personality Disorder. It would be unprofessional of me to give a definitive diagnosis without interviewing Tess and the “alters.” However, there is no doubt that Tess has dissociative episodes. To survive the horrific traumas of childhood, she would have had to develop an escape mechanism, and dissociating was; probably, the only way. Dr. David Yeung MBBS, FRCPC.
