My cousin Valerie Wong is having a Vancouver book launch this weekend.
It is an independently published work of fiction.
JADE RUBIES - book launch
Sunday, October 28th,
3 - 5PM
Saffron Fourth Avenue Gourmet Foods,
2836 West Fourth Ave., Vancouver, B. C.
Valerie is a great-grand-daughter of Rev. Chan Yu Tan. She grew up in Vancouver and was childhood friends with Wayson Choy. She has written a fiction book titled "the Jade Rubies."
As a young girl, Valerie heard many stories about Chinese handmaidens in
Canada. The topic was fascinating, at times bittersweet, but also oddly
literating to learn just how strong the human spirit can be. She lives in San Jose CA
Please come, enjoy good company, and the publication by one of our Chan Clan members,
Cheers, Todd Wong
