  • "From Anchee Min, the author of the internationally bestselling memoir "Red Azalea"--The eagerly awaited sequel, in which she comes to America to find her way, her voice, and her love."
  • "Coming to America in 1994, Min speaks no English, has no money and no clear path. She marries badly and then divorces, taking on the challenge of being a single mother. Her eventual success-- as a mother, a wife, a writer, and a woman-- is an immigrant story that illuminates so many things we take for granted."
  • "Anchee Min left the shocking deprivations of her youth in Communist China to come to America in 1984, landing at the Art Institute of Chicago with no training in art, no kowledge of English, and no money to her name. She taught herself the language by watchng Sesame Street, slept in unheated rooms, and kept herself afloat working five jobs at once. She married badly and divorced, taking on the challenge of raising her daughter as a single mother. But it was her dream for her daughter's future that would give her the courage to endure. The story of Anchee's eventual success-- as a mother, a wife, a writer, and a woman-- is an immigrant story that illuminates so many things we take for granted. And it is a universal story, about moving forward until you find a path-- or find that you've been blazing one all along."
  • "Anchee Min, author of the literary sensation Red Azalea, returns with the triumphant next chapter of her memoirs."
