REVIEWS:
Bazhe explores the full spectrum of his emotions. A revelatory, pained, unyielding ride. Hold on tight. — KIRKUS, NYC

Bazhe has a vivid talent for powerhouse storytelling and Damages is a remarkable, compelling read. — WHITE CRANE JOURNAL, NYC
Damages is Bazhe’s memorial to the woman who raised him and loved him and who, in spite of it all, will always remain his one true mother. He never loses his focus, or the reader’s interest. Bazhé’s life story is uniquely his own, but at the same time it is a story that we can all relate to. That alone makes "Damages" a good book worth reading. — THE WEEKLY NEWS, FL
Bazhe is a skilled narrator, and Damages never dips into being a dull read. — INSTINCT MAGAZINE, CA
I enjoyed this story. The pain and longing of belonging, the joys and triumphs of love, the strength of family bonds, the agony of loss, the force of political events, and the power of letting go are woven together in this story that left me with a sense that something profound had been accomplished. — THE FAMILY JOURNAL, IL
Very well written, fast-paced, occasionally shocking... Damages is one of the worthier novels I've read recently. — THE STAR DEMOCRAT, MD
Bazhe knew a world that turned to violent ethnic strife after years of civil unrest, echoed by his own inner turmoil. Damages is the story of his inner and outer wars. — RECORDER NEWSPAPERS, NJ
