Translations:Chapter One Trey/48/zh-cn

Where my mom got her confidence and ambition was probably equal parts the Maxwell side and Gami, who, beyond her card-table acuity, was valedictorian of her high school class, a gifted basketball player, widely read, and aimed for a bigger life outside of her hometown. It was at the University of Washington that she met my grandfather. My mom followed, entering UW in 1946 with the full support of two ambitious parents and a family-wide expectation that she would excel.

母亲的自信与企图心或许同时来自麦斯威尔家族与加米，加米不仅在牌桌上有敏锐观察力，她也是高中毕业班代表、天赋异禀的篮球选手，她博览群书，渴望离家追寻更宽广的人生。加米在华盛顿大学时，认识了我的外祖父。我母亲随后于1946年进入华盛顿大学，有志向远大的父母全力支持她，全家人都期望她能出类拔萃。
