Robert J. Muelhausen took the time to read “Wind Chimes” and wrote an excellent review, which has been posted on Amazon.
Here it is for your convenience: 5.0 out of 5 stars The life and times of a Chinese American Immigrant. Reviewed in the United States on June 22, 2020, Verified Purchase
This isn't just another of those hard life stories about raising an extended family, coming to America and ultimately finding love and happiness as a Chinese American immigrant. In fact, it may not be a completely fictional narrative. By the time you finish reading Wind Chimes you'll have experienced something deeper, something more than just the life of an early 20th century woman named Hai-lan. As I went from chapter to chapter, I became convinced that what we have here is not just the life and times of Hai-lan, but a life of someone especially significant to the author. A reader might come to an underlying conclusion that Hai-lan may very well be the author's mother based on the sensitive and touching events described that take place throughout the years of her life. There is a sincerity and truthfulness in the writing throughout the text that lends a special validity to the author's relationship with her. You'll have to decide for yourself if some aspects of this story were simply made up to color the narrative or are too truthful to be ignored as to the true identity of this steadfast protagonist.
At the end of it all, a memorable and loving account by the author.
I thank you, Robert J. Muehlausen,
Stay safe and well. Thank you for your interest in my books and writing.
