Two trees make a forest : in search of my family's past among Taiwan's mountains and coasts / Jessica J. Lee.
After unearthing a hidden memoir of her grandfather's life, Jessica J. Lee seeks to piece together the fragments of her family's history as they moved from China to Taiwan, and then on to Canada. But as she navigates the tumultuous terrain of Taiwan, Lee finds herself having to traverse fissures in language, memory, and history, as she searches for the pieces of her family left behind. Lee was awarded the 2019 RBC Taylor Prize Emerge Writer Award. She is originally from London, ON.
