This book is exceptional! One of the finest memoirs I’ve had the privilege of reading. It was as much a page-turner as a thriller, and I love thrillers! I laughed out loud and was so touched by Allison Hong Merrill’s raw honesty and insight.
It’s an immigrant story where one young woman’s search for love and belonging takes her from Taiwan to America. Really, this is an important book for everyone. It’s a story of empowerment and self-determination, and it will leave you feeling inspired to live your best life.
While this is an adult memoir, I highly recommend it for teens age 15+. There are heavy topics of neglect and abuse that Allison suffered both as a child and during her first marriage, but you won’t find anything graphic.
There’s a reason this one has won so many awards 🏆 and it would make the perfect holiday gift 🎁 for yourself and for those you love.
Happy reading!
