The first chapter was amazing. I'd forgotten it completely. You had a lot going on in life and you still managed to complete your epic story!
The opening paragraph grabbed me, "From floor to ceiling, motifs from China, Japan, and India mingled with abandon. Gilded dragons ran riot about the space, shouldering the tables, undulating over the chairs, and pursuing each other across the papered walls. That described my home while growing up. (minus the audaciousness, decadence and obtrusiveness)
Since my mother has passed, I've inherited some of the dragons, statues, masks, geisha dolls, samurais, foo dogs etc. One of these years when I finally get my affordable housing apartment, I can unpack it all and I'll post a photo. I have a lot of Russian, Irish, Scottish chachkas too...and a few other countries are represented...I'm a regular United Nations. lol!
