EVERYTHING IN AMERICA: From Beijing to Belonging
From a Beijing hutong with no running water to partnership at a Chicago investment firm, this memoir explores the mathematics of belonging: What do immigrants sacrifice when we succeed? What does it cost to hide who we are? And how do you build a home in a country that doesn't quite know what to do with you?
A story of hunger, escape, systems built in silence, and four marriages to the same man.
