The Cotton Rose Diaries

The Cotton Rose Diaries continues the story of my adolescence, shaped by the growing realization that my earlier years had quietly led me toward the philosophies of East Asian traditions. Throughout my life, I have found joy and meaning in nurturing my academic and reflective inclinations—qualities that seem to harmonize with the spirit of Asian culture. This book is written for those who have lived within a Western narrative yet find themselves drawn, almost instinctively, to an Eastern way of thought.
