“Louisa Wah is taking us on an unforgettable journey of immigration from China through Hong Kong to life beyond. This is an important story filled with love and loss along a hard path to forgiveness and understanding.”
Aimee Liu, Aimee Liu's MFA Lore
“Lily Pond is a fine place to ponder. Not only are Louisa's thoughts about being the child of an immigrant family worth exploring and understanding (for in truth, we all are) but she explores huge questions which touch all our souls.”
JULIA HUBBEL, Too Old For This Sh*t
“Louisa Wah is one of the most honest, authentic, real voices here on Substack, writing candidly on a deep soul level from her unique Asian immigrant experience living in the US. I learn something new each week about how to get in touch with a deeper part of myself.”
