Description
In the early days of settling in San Francisco, a young Chinese girl and her parents navigate the daily pressures of assimilation while holding their breath for the arrival of their green cards. As language, customs, and expectations collide with the realities of a new country, she learns what it means to belong—at school, at home, and in the spaces between. Told with immediacy and emotional clarity, this coming-of-age story explores identity, family loyalty, and the quiet negotiations immigrants make to be seen and accepted. Through Belle Yang’s sensitive, character-driven style, the novel captures both the hope and the uncertainty of starting over, one small moment at a time.
