This is the witty and inspirational early-life memoir of Singapore tour guide, Cathy Ross. As a mixed-race child from a Chinese Catholic family, she lived with her paternal grandmother and was bounced around to various extended family members throughout her youth. She further happened to live amidst Singapore's upheaval from a sleepy, colonial outpost to a bustling, global metropolis that took off during her childhood years. Hers may not be a full-blown rags to riches story-after all, she is still seeking the latter. Rather, perhaps her experience is more a missing parents to middle class tale, which may be even more relatable to her fellow, first-generation Singaporeans.
