Beautiful Essays by Cynthia Lim

Written By Amanda Barusch

Cynthia and I were at Berkeley together just yesterday. Now she has written a memoir about her husband's brain injury. Two of her published essays are available online:

Yes or No, A delightful piece about voice that will make your heart sing, and

Rezo para Obtener Favores (I pray for blessings), a true gem about love, hope, and the miracles we don't ask for.

I hope you'll enjoy them while we wait for the book!
