Through stories of migration, exclusion, resilience, and quiet endurance, she uncovers the threads that have shaped her family's identity.At the heart of this memoir is the idea that meaning is not fixed-it is made, remembered, and remade over time. A reclaimed surname, a red thread tied at departure, a story told at a kitchen table-each becomes a symbol carrying memory across distance and generations.Blending poetic reflection with historical insight, Lok explores what it means to live between cultures, to inherit stories both spoken and unspoken, and to reconcile the tensions between identity, belonging, and faith. As the narrative unfolds, survival gives way to something deeper: a quiet turn toward grace, where memory becomes not only a record of the past, but a path toward healing.This is a story of diaspora and return-not to a place, but to meaning.Red Thread Reclaimed is a lyrical and deeply personal memoir about family, memory, and the enduring threads that hold us together.", "item_img_path" : "https://covers3.booksamillion.com/covers/bam/9/79/825/371/9798253714942_b.jpg", "price_data" : { "retail_price" : "11.99", "online_price" : "11.99", "our_price" : "11.99", "club_price" : "11.99", "savings_pct" : "0", "savings_amt" : "0.00", "club_savings_pct" : "0", "club_savings_amt" : "0.00", "discount_pct" : "10", "store_price" : "" } }
