Book Reviewers: "Mary Fong has written a moving memoir about growing up in Los Angeles as the daughter of Chinese American immigrants. Her experience is at once unique and emblematic to the trials and tribulations facing immigrants of all faiths and ethnicities, and Fong captures the sometimes, troubling issues of transition and acculturation. Her story is a powerful one, earnest and true, rich with the passion of life, of the tender, unrequited love for a dear classmate, ultimately learning to overcome loss and embrace both the past and the future as one." - James Brown, author of the memoirs, The Los Angeles Diaries and This River
"Mary Fong has written a wonderful and engaging memoir detailing her experiences of childhood, including witnessing her immigrant parents' struggle to survive in the restaurant business. As a result, I have much greater compassion for people in similar circumstances. Her descriptions of various emotions and experiences growing up are vivid and they stimulated reflections on my own path, letting me enjoy childhood once again." -Walter Semkiw, M.D., author of Origin of the Soul and the Purpose of Reincarnation, as well as Born Again Note: To purchase the e-book, the buyer needs to go to Amazon.com retail website and order.
