Barbie Dolls and Boas is a collection of fifteen short stories on immigration, family dynamics, work culture and romantic relationships—a non-fiction, tell-all of a young woman's journey.

Includes "Trains, Rust and Mould," the winner of the Mississauga Art Council's 2012 Marty Emerging Literary Arts Award!
