About the Book

Speaking Chinese is about an American family...about 1st. and 2nd generation Americans. It's about the joys and sorrows of assimilation. Tolly is the typical, troublesome, middle child...you will laugh at him, as well as with him. Oh, he's not the star of the story though you will swear the world revolves around him. Monica, the oldest, has her moments too; like on the plane ride to Belize. In case you're wondering, no, they don't speak Chinese. It's Kriol (Creole)...but to Tolly it's all Chinese. Come and join this family as they learn more than just about language. They learn lessons about forgiveness, love and about some traditions that are good to remember and to keep...
About the Author: T. Anthony Bland was born and raised in the Bronx New York. He grew up in the north east Bronx and went to Art & Design HS, where he dropped out after 6 months. He spent the next few years on a roller-coaster ride of life. Which included, homelessness, single parenting, remarrying, a blended family and after years of working; a return to school. He received his GED, BA and MS in 6 straight years. After coming to faith in Christ, T. Anthony Bland gained a confidence to do something he thought he could never do, Write. As a child he struggled with reading and writing, as a result, he always had poor grades. He spent hours as a boy watching classic movies and his teens years in the movie theaters. It is there where the love of stories begin for him. But because of his lack of confidence he never wrote a story that he dreamed up in his mind. That would not come until his first year as an undergraduate. He wrote his first short story about his 2 year old daughter's first trip to the dentist. From there he used every opportunity to write a story for class. T. Anthony Bland holds a Bachelor of Arts and a Master's Degree in Communication studies from The College of New Rochelle. He lives in New York City with his wife, 6 children and 2 grandchildren. He enjoys kissing his wife, destroying his opponents in Madden football, playing mini golf with his family, reading Autobiographies and daydreaming...
