Description
In this candid continuation of her acclaimed memoir, Anchee Min recounts her journey from the upheaval and deprivation of Maoist China to the bewildering possibilities of America. Arriving with limited English, little money, and no clear roadmap, she confronts the challenges of reinvention while striving to find her voice as a writer. With vivid honesty and wry insight, the memoir explores immigration, identity, ambition, cultural displacement, and the hard-won meaning of freedom. It is a powerful account of transforming a traumatic past into a life of creative possibility.
