Saved by her mother from abandonment, she worked hard to succeed as a journalist.

Author Marpheen Chann's heart-warming journey weaves through housing projects and foster homes; into houses of worship and across college campuses; and playing out in working-class Maine where he struggles to find his place. Adopted into in a majority white community, Chann must reconcile his fears and secret longings as a young gay man with the devoutly religious beliefs of his new family. Chann, a second-generation Asian American, recounts what he has learned, what he has lost, and what he has found during his evolution from a hungry refugee's son to religious youth to advocate for acceptance and equality. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5bff2f5845776e5dd4fc4e46/6091d8af-07dc-4543-aa98-137f4e199a5a/51pBxF5TLvL._SY445_SX342_.jpg Blog - 10 Books To Read for Asian American Pacific Islander Heritage Month - Afterparties: Stories by Anthony Veasna So A vibrant story collection about Cambodian-American life—immersive and comic, yet unsparing—that offers profound insight into the intimacy of queer and immigrant communities. Seamlessly transitioning between the absurd and the tenderhearted, balancing acerbic humor with sharp emotional depth, Afterparties offers an expansive portrait of the lives of Cambodian-Americans. As the children of refugees carve out radical new paths for themselves in California, they shoulder the inherited weight of the Khmer Rouge genocide and grapple with the complexities of race, sexuality, friendship, and family. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5bff2f5845776e5dd4fc4e46/f9561a4e-6c98-4c52-9df2-bb1f614e655e/81sSWzjCftL._SY466_.jpg Blog - 10 Books To Read for Asian American Pacific Islander Heritage Month - On Earth We're Briefly Gorgeous by Ocean Vuong On Earth We're Briefly Gorgeous is a letter from a son to a mother who cannot read. Written when the speaker, Little Dog, is in his late twenties, the letter unearths a family's history that began before he was born — a history whose epicenter is rooted in Vietnam — and serves as a doorway into parts of his life his mother has never known, all of it leading to an unforgettable revelation. At once a witness to the fraught yet undeniable love between a single mother and her son, it is also a brutally honest exploration of race, class, and masculinity. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5bff2f5845776e5dd4fc4e46/d0898570-051e-4fe1-8747-853d52374feb/81AXLAsgZjL._SY466_.jpg Blog - 10 Books To Read for Asian American Pacific Islander Heritage Month - We Are Here: 30 Inspiring Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders Who Have Shaped the United States by Naomi Hirahara , Smithsonian Institution, et al. There are more than 23 million people of Asian and Pacific Islander descent living in the United States. Their stories span across generations, as well as across the world. We Are Here highlights thirty Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders and the impact they’ve had on the cultural, social, and political fabric of the United States. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5bff2f5845776e5dd4fc4e46/a1a25815-efff-412d-9415-37e0a9432f43/71KEWc1g6qL._SY466_.jpg Blog - 10 Books To Read for Asian American Pacific Islander Heritage Month - Stay True: A Memoir by Hua Hsu In the eyes of eighteen-year-old Hua Hsu, the problem with Ken—with his passion for Dave Matthews, Abercrombie & Fitch, and his fraternity—is that he is exactly like everyone else. Ken, whose Japanese American family has been in the United States for generations, is mainstream; for Hua, the son of Taiwanese immigrants, who makes ’zines and haunts Bay Area record shops, Ken represents all that he defines himself in opposition to. The only thing Hua and Ken have in common is that, however they engage with it, American culture doesn’t seem to have a place for either of them. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5bff2f5845776e5dd4fc4e46/00d2139b-c074-46bc-8654-17b5ffb9ab8e/41FjAZwaZcL._SY445_SX342_.jpg Blog - 10 Books To Read for Asian American Pacific Islander Heritage Month - Crying in H Mart: A Memoir by Michelle Zauner In this exquisite story of family, food, grief, and endurance, Michelle Zauner proves herself far more than a dazzling singer, songwriter, and guitarist. With humor and heart, she tells of growing up one of the few Asian American kids at her school in Eugene, Oregon; of struggling with her mother's particular, high expectations of her; of a painful adolescence; of treasured months spent in her grandmother's tiny apartment in Seoul, where she and her mother would bond, late at night, over heaping plates of food. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5bff2f5845776e5dd4fc4e46/1b8e16fe-c0af-4c1e-b359-1fdd417f8ebf/61bKkw5BxoS._SY466_.jpg Blog - 10 Books To Read for Asian American Pacific Islander Heritage Month - The Making of Asian America: A History by Erika Lee The Making of Asian America shows how generations of Asian immigrants and their American-born descendants have made and remade Asian American life, from sailors who came on the first trans-Pacific ships in the 1500 to the Japanese Americans incarcerated during World War II. Over the past fifty years, a new Asian America has emerged out of community activism and the arrival of new immigrants and refugees. But as Lee shows, Asian Americans have continued to struggle as both “despised minorities” and “model minorities,” revealing all the ways that racism has persisted in their lives and in the life of the country. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5bff2f5845776e5dd4fc4e46/fac99983-de57-4298-a010-3bc11accb9cf/81MoybyEOGL._SY466_.jpg Blog - 10 Books To Read for Asian American Pacific Islander Heritage Month - Minor Feelings: An Asian American Reckoning by Cathy Park Hong Poet and essayist Cathy Park Hong fearlessly and provocatively blends memoir, cultural criticism, and history to expose fresh truths about racialized consciousness in America. Part memoir and part cultural criticism, this collection is vulnerable, humorous, and provocative—and its relentless and riveting pursuit of vital questions around family and friendship, art and politics, identity and individuality, will change the way you think about our world. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5bff2f5845776e5dd4fc4e46/3b886591-89b8-4523-bb00-3603aa87408f/81puiqthG6L._SY466_.jpg Blog - 10 Books To Read for Asian American Pacific Islander Heritage Month - Roughhouse Friday: A Memoir by Jaed Coffin Roughhouse Friday is a deeply honest and vulnerable memoir that explores the themes of violence, masculinity, and emotional vulnerability.
