Ames Chen: Why I Write About the “Invisible People”

A migrant worker being sent home because of a long-term injury. A bus driver trying to provide for his family. A domestic worker with a huge responsibility to bear.” Hearing all the stories about unfair treatment, abuse, depression, and other struggles by this group of “invisible people” kept Ames awake at night. Being a wife and a mother of three very young children, Ames shares about how God led her to turn these experiences into a children’s book series called “The Invisible People”.
