Once Our Lives
Glamour UK Best New Books of June 2023 Pick
Gold Book Award Winner – Nonfiction Authors Association Book Awards
Once Our Lives is the true story of four generations of Chinese women and how their lives were threatened by powerful and cruel ancient traditions, historic upheavals, and a man whose fate – cursed by an ancient superstition – dramatically altered their destinies. The book takes the reader on an exotic journey filled with luxurious banquets, lost jewels, babies sold in opium dens, kidnappings by pirates, and a desperate flight from death in the desert – seen through the eyes of a man for whom the truth would spell disaster and a lonely, beautiful girl with three identities.
Stunning non-fiction … perfect for all fans of the multi-generational family saga.
– Glamour UK
A well-written, beautifully immersive book that while non-fiction reads even better than fiction. Very highly recommended.
– Readers’ Favorite
[Stubis’] book stands out … it reads like a novel, poetic and descriptive.
