Ying-Ying St. Clair: Waiting Between the Trees

Ying-Ying has always been able to know something before it happens. She is saddened that her daughter, Lena’s, marriage is falling apart without her realizing it. Ying-Ying remembers her first marriage. She met a guy that she knew she would end up marrying. They had an arranged marriage and she always tried to please him.

She became pregnant and knew it would be a son. Her husband, however, left her several months into the pregnancy for an opera singer. In rage and sorrow, Ying-Ying aborted her son. Ying-Ying lost her spirit after her first marriage. She could see Lena losing hers and did not want the same to happen to her. She decided to tell Lena about her first marriage.
