![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() At first, in the beginning, I was wondering what made this stand out, but as we got into the nitty gritty experiences as an undocumented Chinese-American immigrant family, I slowly began to understand what made this memoir in particular special. Wow, I’ve said a lot already! Let’s dive into this review.įirst of all: wow, what a powerful memoir. It’s so refined, the mark of someone who was born to be a writer and has cultivated their craft. ![]() The author is a lawyer by trade, but is a fellow bookworm, which shows in her prose. And, to be honest, I’m glad that I came in blind because it allowed me to have my socks blown out of the water. I should’ve read the premise or book blurb, or even the reviews about it on The New York Times, but I went in completely blind. I will also admit, I knew nothing about the premise of this memoir going in, and had originally assumed that it was going to be just another immigrant memoir. So I borrowed the audiobook, and man did I devour this book. That was insane to me, especially because it had just come out and most of the time when things come out, there’s a months long waiting list just to get a copy of it. I first read about it on The New York Times, but what compelled me to actually get to it was the fact that I saw it on Libby ready to be borrowed right here. I’ve heard so much about this book, and it literally just came out. ![]()
