“One Thousand Layers Of Water And Clouds” 《一千層的水與雲》(暫譯) 回憶錄的寫者是賴水雲 Nancy Chen Baldwin。Nancy 出生在二戰之後的台北，五歲時被原生家庭賣給養母。從日治時期開始延續到二戰後，許多女孩可能會被去當童養媳，男孩也可能會被送給養父母當小孩，被迫離開自己的父母親及熟悉的環境；新家庭也可能會像 Nancy 的養母一樣，在服務駐台美軍的酒吧工作，承受社會批判的眼光。
Nancy 與養母之間有一段糾葛、充滿誤會，但也充滿愛的深刻關係。Nancy 後來有了自己的家庭，在兒子五歲時，Nancy 想起了當年五歲的自己，於是決定將她的人生故事記錄下來，出版成書。
Nancy 有很多個名字，最早她叫賴水雲，五歲到養母家後，她們叫她阿香（台語：啊乓）。十四歲時，她與養母搬到美國，得到了 Nancy Chen 這個英文名字，結婚後又冠了夫姓，成為 Nancy Chen Baldwin。
這次訪談分成上下兩集，在這一集裡，Nancy 講述她的前半生：她被迫離開原生家庭，跟養母居住，後來到了美國生活，也遇到了第一任老公。她要結婚時，養母激烈反對，甚至不惜出言詛咒 Nancy。養母的態度會如此強硬，其實有個非常戲劇性的原因 —— 原因也是 Nancy 非常多年之後，養母過世後才知道的。
下集我們會繼續聽 Nancy 的故事，以及她後來用什麼方式和養母修復關係。
一起期待下一集吧！

Boysober
Have you ever wondered what life might be like if you stopped worrying about being wanted, and focused on understanding what you actually want? That was the question Hope Woodard asked herself after a string of situationships inspired her to take a break from sex and dating. She went "boysober," a personal concept that sparked a global movement among women looking to prioritize themselves over men. Now, Hope is looking to expand the ways we explore our relationship to relationships. Taking a bold, unfiltered look into modern love, romance, and self-discovery, Boysober will dive into messy stories about dating, sex, love, friendship, and breaking generational patterns—all with humor, vulnerability, and a fresh perspective.
