The Cotton Rose Diaries

The Cotton Rose Diaries traces the next chapter of my adolescence, shaped by the realization that much of my earlier years had quietly guided me toward the philosophies of East Asian traditions. Throughout my life, I’ve found joy and meaning in honoring my academic and cognitive inclinations—traits that seemed to resonate deeply with the spirit of Asian culture. This book is for anyone who has lived a Western story, yet discovers themselves drawn to an Eastern way of thought.
