SASS & Serendipity: Reviews and Reader Comments

REVIEWS
"SASS & Serendipity by Pamela Masters exudes personality. Though biographic in nature, the book reads like a novel. Romance, danger, intrigue, exultant highs, crushing lows, and hell, even a car chase of sorts. All the ins, outs, highs and lows that make up life... "Masters begins this, her second book, having narrowly escaped death in a Japanese prison camp, as she documented in her first book, The Mushroom Years. The end of World War II brings her to the United States, where life away from her beloved China feels daunting. But those qualms are soon swept away when her life becomes full of twists and turns, taking her places she never dreamed, through adventures in the fashion industry, the building boom of the fifties, and into the space race. Along the way, she meets and marries Jay, her special love, and they end up in the Sierra Foothills of Northern California, where they raise two daughters, acres of fruit, gallons of cider, thousands of pies, and a considerable amount of hell. "SASS & Serendipity is a very well written book. Masters has a way with words and a direct approach to life that makes you cheer her triumphs and feel her anguish in turn. Learned the hard way, she has a never-look-back way of seeing things that we all could use. It's a delight to read." Tom Williams Hidden Passage Books
