Presidents Trump’s travel bans, his rescinding of former president Obama’s executive order protecting the Dreamers, and promoting the imposition of fees on money sent to Mexican families by persons in the US all speak to his xenophobia or, perhaps more cynically, his attempts to appeal to his “base.” In the story titled “Roaches,” I explore my relationship with a Tibetan family, whom I helped to emigrate from Nepal, and the reasons why Trump’s rhetoric puts them in danger.
The Fourth Moment, due out in print this November, is neither a novel nor a standard memoir. Rather, it is a collection of exuberant and painful, regretful and enlightening aha moments of insight and reflection. You can purchase the eBook at 2Leaf Press’s website and purchase the print edition of the book on Amazon.com.
