by Lillian Tao (Author)

Trying Hard To Be Red is Lillian Tao's debut book.

This book is about everything.
It is about femininity, and understanding how to claim the power of womanhood.
It is about the nature of some men.
It is about anger and disappointment and desperation.
It is a diary poured onto a page and written into a story that is not just my own.
It is the story of everyone who has reflected on me, and all the flecks of paint they have left on my skin.
It is about the colours that penetrated through to my soul, and influenced my perception of the world.
It is about whatever you think it is about.
