"Lives are cyclical and while we do not always pass through the same circles, there are always points that meet, converge and separate constantly. There is something here for everyone who has ever loved someone else or plans to. I highly recommend Tea Leaves just because it is so real and so beautifully written."                   --Amos Lassen

Janet Mason, a second generation feminist, intimately explores the paradoxical legacies of family and culture.  Any woman who has borne witness to the passing of her mother will be moved by this account and any woman who has yet to face this life-changing transition will be illuminated and directed, as if by a map.       --Sheila Ortiz Taylor
