A New York Times-bestselling debut novel that introduced
an important Chinese-American voice with an inspiring story of
an immigrant girl forced to choose between two worlds and two
futures. When Kimberly Chang and her mother emigrate from Hong
Kong to Brooklyn squalor, she quickly begins a secret double
life: exceptional schoolgirl during the day, Chinatown sweatshop
worker in the evenings. Disguising the more difficult truths of
her life—like the staggering degree of her poverty, the weight
of her family's future resting on her shoulders, or her secret
love for a factory boy who shares none of her talent or
ambition—Kimberly learns to constantly translate not just her
language but herself back and forth between the worlds she
straddles.
Characters: 45. Amazon rating: 4 1/2 stars. Genre: Fiction.
