Author Information

Melody Lily Jade (She/Her) is of Chinese ancestry but was born in a Red Cross Refugee Camp in Chon Buri, Thailand, after her parents fled the Khmer Rouge Genocide. When she was three, she immigrated to Canada but experienced hostile culture clashes and abuse that led to a long battle with depression. Writing is the lighted path she chooses to take, and this book has been part of her journey of healing. She's reimagined her father's advice to ""only think of yourself"" with the intention that if you love yourself first, the world will benefit and become all the brighter. She hopes her stories help others find their light. Melody enjoys writing stories that have underlying themes of racism, environmental activism, and self-discovery. She also enjoys writing the cheesiest lines. Her advice for new writers is, ""Don't write hungry, or all of your metaphors will be food-related."" Melody lives in British Columbia, Canada.
