Mosa Sekele Mashitisho dedicated this book to all those affected by the scourge of Gender-Based Violence. Every victim knows another victim, but no perpetrator knows another like themselves. This is because we have created so many conversations for and about victims, but we have not tapped into the mindsets of these perpetrators and found out what it is that really causes them to behave in ways that make others feel inhumane or inferior or underserving of love, care and warmth that a healthy relationship offers.This book offers empathy to the victims and hope to all survivors that all is not lost. They may and will still find love again and realize that all the pain and suffering was not he definition of what love is all about. There is a beautiful person inside each one of us and if the partners we choose to have cannot see or appreciate that beauty, we need to give ourselves permission to save our lives and leave those relationships.The last part of this book offers love and appreciation in a form of letters written to loved ones, thanking them for being such amazing people in our lives. Even with the many failed marriages ending in divorce, fights and murders, there is still beauty in finding love that surpasses all emotions of anger, insecurities and evil doing. At the end of the day, love follows all of us and bit by bit, if we permit ourselves to leave our unhealthy and unsafe relationships and situations, this love will find us.

This black and white, illustrated paperback of Snapshots of China is a collection of short stories that looks at the daily life questions and struggles of Chinese people as well as non-Chinese people living in China. What do students in China struggle with? What might a business owner in China feel when he thinks he may lose his business? How do kids interact with parents and peers in China? How do non-Chinese adapt to life in a completely different culture and environment? Snapshots of China explores these questions and more through the eyes of a vast collection of characters. These characters each have their own challenges, hopes, and dreams. As we look at life from their perspective, we can understand a little more about Chinese culture and Chinese thinking. Snapshots of China is a collection of stories and character sketches from the writing desk of Alison Mullins. Drawing on her experiences and friendships, she wrote these stories to share a little piece of China with you. Weaving together fact and fiction, these stories will reveal not just a glimpse beyond the surface of a China in the midst of historic transformation, but perhaps we may also see something about ourselves.
