Li has not yet told all the formative stories of her childhood in 1940s and 1950s Malaya. This second memoir fills the gaps in her first volume, The Reluctant

Migrant's Daughter. Li also regales us with further travel stories before detailing the decline of her husband of nearly 58 years. Her own health concerns begin

yet another journey.

Li's reflections lead her to realise that, with her roller coaster ride of experiences, she has received much in this life. It has been a life worth living!
