Description
When Shelley arrives in San Francisco from China, he expects a warm welcome and a secure future arranged by his relatives—but instead finds himself navigating an unfamiliar city largely on his own. As he searches for work, connection, and a place to belong, his journey brings him into contact with a vivid array of immigrants and outsiders, each pursuing an elusive version of the American dream. Wry, compassionate, and richly observant, the novel explores family, displacement, cultural identity, and the complicated hopes that shape a new life in America.
