Praise for How Does One Dress to Buy Dragonfruit? True Stories of Expat Women in Asia:

How Does One Dress to Buy Dragonfruit is an eclectic, soulful collection of  stories by badass women who have adventured far out of their comfort zones. Full of candid observations about travel, language, food, self, and other, it’s a book for anyone who has ever felt peripheral, upside down, culturally shocked, or inspired. In other words, a book for all of us.

—Rachel DeWoskin, author of Foreign Babes in Beijing, Repeat after Me, Big Girl Small, and Blind.

A unique and inspiring collection of voices that calls up all the wonder, fascination, challenges, disorientation, and delights faced by women expats throughout Asia. I was moved by the breadth of experiences included in this anthology at the same time that I fell in love with one thread running throughout: how the expatriate journey takes us away from ourselves and then ultimately delivers us back, richer, wiser, and even more aware of how our own identities fit within our wide, wide world.

—Tracy Slater, author of The Good Shufu: A Wife in Search of a Life between East and West (Putnam, 2015)
