And I encourage you to raise scissors and blades over these threads over your own head and allow yourself bith your fears and desires. And perhaps through stories of spirits and ghosts, we can further explore our place in this world; within, without, and between cultures; and in confronting our cultural and existential fears, anxieties, and angst, we might become more human, and less of an unsettled spirit.

It's hard to find a single quote in an anthology that nicely ties up a common theme, but I feel that might do.

Unquiet Spirits is a look at the Asian woman's life experiences, especially in those stuck in the diaspora and even if you are not Asian or a woman, these words will stick with you.

This book is obviously more for a sociology or Asian culture class, but I think it's a fantastic read for anyone.
