The Emperor,His Bride and the Dragon Robe

“The Emperor, His Bride and the Dragon Robe” is a wonderful fairy tale set in ancient China. It tells the story of a brave young emperor and two beautiful young women, who are suddenly thrust the incredible, once-in-a-life-time opportunity of marrying the emperor and becoming the next empress of China. Their journeys take them from their humble homes to the grand palace where their lives are forever changed for the better, and, at times, even for the worse as the competition to win the emperor’s heart intensifies. The young women meet their unexpected challenges in very different ways. But their struggle is the depiction of the fight between good and evil. The author was inspired by her two sons, who were born in China, to write the story. She also credits writing the book to having lived in China for many years and being warmly embraced by the Chinese people who have willingly shared their rich culture with her. “The Emperor, His Bride and the Dragon Robe” (limited print edition) was launched at Expo 2010 Shanghai, the largest World Expo ever. In 2013, English and Chinese copies were presented as state gifts to the President of China by the Prime Minister of Trinidad and Tobago.
