Yet I Remember the Waves Rising in the Sea of Bitterness

This is a story about youth and growing up.

Who says youth has to be full of melodrama? We have passionate struggles and a love that brings tears to our eyes.

I dedicate this book to the youth we cried through, laughed through, suffered through, and grew tired through: an unforgettable time, full of regrets;

and to those who accompanied us on this important journey.

Youth is a river you can only enter once, and I was the brightest, most surging wave in that river.
