Qian Julie Wang's memoirs of her immigration from China to America at age seven are profound and beautifully written. As undocumented immigrants, she and her parents (educated professors in China) struggled to find their place in the United States. She describes having to grow up quickly, working with her parents in sweatshops, navigating the school system, and the fear of being deported. But she also shares clear memories of joy, like discovering the library, and the wonders of New York City Christmas window shopping with her Ma Ma.Publisher's description: This memoir from a Chinese woman who arrived in New York City at age seven examines how her family lived in poverty out of fear of being discovered as undocumented immigrants and how she was able to find success.
