truthfulness of story
Revisado: 04-12-25
fast reading. much of the story was about how father neglected first son to promote 2nd son. although sad author nevertheless used it as a reason to explain why Fred Jr succumbed to alcohol addiction and not succeed as a pilot which detracted from overall genuineness of family history. anecdotes about Donald confirmed his narcissistic, impulsive, reactionary , learing impaired and racist behavior and personality. if the prior administrations were not so liberal and left winged, a person like Donald would never be in the white house. unfortunately for America that a cheat and bully now is leaving an uncertain and questionable legacy in us history.

Historia
Carmen Rita Wong has always craved a sense of belonging: First as a toddler in a warm room full of Black and brown Latina women, like her mother, Lupe, cheering her dancing during her childhood in Harlem. And in Chinatown, where her immigrant father, “Papi” Wong, a hustler, would show her and her older brother off in opulent restaurants decorated in red and gold. Then came the almost exclusively white playgrounds of New Hampshire after her mother married her stepfather, Marty, who seemed to be the ideal of the white American dad.

sins of her mother
Revisado: 10-13-24
confusing life for the author as the whole chaos centered around a mother who did not know her role in a new world. it was hard to listen to at times as there was too much blame on how "racist" NH was to the immigrants only to have the mother come back to a place that gave her a consistent role which she sucked at. in the end it was not racism that failed them but the unrealistic expectations of the women that kept having children and ill prepared to provide for the girls who are to blame. overall not an inspiring story of an immigrant mother who lied and played up emotions to have a roof over her head.

Historia
In the eyes of eighteen-year-old Hua Hsu, the problem with Ken—with his passion for Dave Matthews, Abercrombie & Fitch, and his fraternity—is that he is exactly like everyone else. Ken, whose Japanese American family has been in the United States for generations, is mainstream; for Hua, the son of Taiwanese immigrants, who makes ’zines and haunts Bay Area record shops, Ken represents all that he defines himself in opposition to. The only thing Hua and Ken have in common is that, however they engage with it, American culture doesn’t seem to have a place for either of them.

so much identity tied to music
Revisado: 10-11-24
listening to authors recounting college just made me appreciate my decision not to attend Berkeley in the 80s and 90s and even now. it's a confusing period in a volatile location. the tragedy reads like an intellectual pursuit instead of a memoir.

Historia
Susan Lieu has long been searching for answers. About her family’s past and about her own future. Refugees from the Vietnam War, Susan’s family escaped to California in the 1980s after five failed attempts. Upon arrival, Susan’s mother was their savvy, charismatic North Star, setting up two successful nail salons and orchestrating every success—until Susan was eleven. That year, her mother died from a botched tummy tuck. After the funeral, no one was ever allowed to talk about her or what had happened.

Historia
Before the nightmares began, Yeong-hye and her husband lived an ordinary, controlled life. But the dreams—invasive images of blood and brutality—torture her, driving Yeong-hye to purge her mind and renounce eating meat altogether. It’s a small act of independence, but it interrupts her marriage and sets into motion an increasingly grotesque chain of events at home. As her husband, her brother-in-law, and sister each fight to reassert their control, Yeong-hye obsessively defends the choice that’s become sacred to her.

some of the sex scenes could have been deleted. I did not think they were necessary. I enjoyed the reading performance and story.

Historia
Nicole Chung was born premature, placed for adoption by her Korean parents, and raised by a white family in a sheltered Oregon town. From childhood, she heard the story of her adoption as a comforting, prepackaged myth. She believed that her biological parents had made the ultimate sacrifice in the hope of giving her a better life, that forever feeling slightly out of place was her fate as a transracial adoptee. But as Nicole grew up, she wondered if the story she'd been told was the whole truth.

Historia
Gracie Reed is doing just fine. Sure, she was fired by her overly “friendly” boss, and yes, she still hasn’t gotten her mother into the nursing home of their dreams, but she’s healthy, she’s (somewhat) happy, and she’s (mostly) holding it all together. But when a mysterious SUV pulls up beside her, revealing Chinese cinema's golden couple Wei Fangli and Sam Yao, Gracie’s world is turned on its head. The famous actress has a proposition: Due to their uncanny resemblance, Fangli wants Gracie to be her stand-in.
