Content Summary:
 
How does one go about opening one\'s heart to an abused six-year old boy who speaks not one word of English? What do menopause and kudzu have in common? Where do we turn for that extra dose of courage, or an extra dollop of humor to help us through the day?

Gweilo Moments, a collection of interlocking essays by Robin Minietta, is a thoughtful -- and, provocative -- meditation on lives that unfold against the backdrop of Hong Kong. Both poignant and laugh out-loud funny, Minietta\'s debut book showcases a strong, clear intelligent woman\'s voice.
