- Jennifer Bao Yu "Precious Jade" Jue-Steuck
- We traveled on the winter wind of 1979, guided by a dancing star. My Birthmother is from JIANGSU Province, China. Adopted from TAIPEI by Americans from LOS ANGELES. I have been an orphan, an immigrant, an American citizen, an illegal alien, a legal klutz, a travel writer, a Harvard grad, and (continue to be) the proud big sister of Chris, my brother (adopted from Seoul, South Korea). My dad, a football fanatic from Pasadena, was a professional photographer; my mom, an "LA girl" who loved frogs & lizards, was an artist, art teacher and poet. I grew up in the artistic enclave of Laguna Beach (Orange County), California, enveloped in the protective circle of my "Chinese aunties," many of whom were writers and most of whom were not Chinese at all! Some "aunties" had blond hair. Some spoke Chinese. Or Spanish or French. Some wrestled with ghosts from an unwritten past. But all of them were my aunties - strong, proud survivors... Jennifer's memoir about her (adoptive) mom's ovarian cancer battle, "Inspiration Ice Cream," is a fundraiser book for Oxfam and the American Cancer Society. "Bloom Your Best"
