曾经的她落魄失意，经历过少年丧父、高考落榜、离婚、失业、女儿罹患脑瘫的打击……而现在的她是令人瞩目的跨国集团总裁夫人，被美国国会授予杰出华人作家奖，成为美国上流社会的宠儿。没有以愤怒来面对跌宕起伏的命运，没有对遭受的不公怨天尤人，汪洋只是返诸自身，将来自外部的压力变成内心自省和内在动力。这种温和而积极的基调，是这本自述中*迷人的光彩。
云南省作家协会副主席、中国作家协会会员、骏马奖获得者、普米族诗人鲁若迪基写给故乡小凉山的饱含深情的赞歌；
以自己的诗歌守护一份由3万多普米人共同创造的、如今依然在中国西南的崇山峻岭中鲜活存在着的普米族文化；
在今天这个全球化的时代里，少数民族文学的意义更加重要。少数民族文学*重要的特性是它的民族性。民族性不仅是民风民俗、民族服饰，还是一种内在的精神。从这一角度来说，少数民族文学的价值不仅仅因为它的文学样式，更因为它在人类文化史上独一无二的文明形态。
