Royal Rainbow: Volume Two of the Embracing Emi series

[Note: This is Vol. 2 of the Embracing Emi series.]Bobby, now winding down from his time as a "hardship liver," drifts through the cosmos, free but more trapped than ever before. Can he escape and find himself, or will he succumb to the deepest, darkest part of the abyss where his soul used to be? Will he find a way to accept and love himself, or will he become... a perfect monster?His story, the story of a young, autistic, Japanese-American man whose experiences -- childhood nostalgia, trauma, and even the positively surreal -- shape his self-image, his view of the world, and his place in it, is the author's story; indeed, in many ways, all of our story. His creativity, his quirks, and his personality are what make him him -- but is that the person he really wants to be? Is that the person he truly is?Though a work of fiction, the Embracing Emi series is largely based in real events, many of them the author's own lived experiences. It's a genuine, heartfelt exploration of how cultural background, identity, and self-image all intertwine in our lives from a slice-of-life lens that chronicles Bobby's journey from the math classroom to the math committee -- and beyond.
