SUN SHINING ON MORNING SNOW: a Memoir of Identity, Loss, and Living Boldly

Born in the United States in 1980 of Scandinavian and Chinese heritage, Ingrid Hu Dahl struggles to find her identity as cultures clash, expectations are high, and racism is rife. But Dahl’s “warrior spirit” compels her on a defiant, diverse journey of discovery, challenging boundaries and confronting prejudice, while wrestling with self-acceptance and parental pressures.  SUN SHINING ON MORNING SNOW is a mesmerizing memoir that captivates and moves. Through straightforward yet elegant prose that sparkles with wit and poetic energy, Dahl candidly explores not only what it means to be a mixed-race, queer woman in a hostile world but also examines the nature of loss and the profound strength of maternal bonds in her pursuit of individual freedom.
