1. Homesick
My Own Story
Set in the 1920s, this autobiographical novel captures the poignant journey of a young girl growing up in China, torn between the vibrant culture of her surroundings and the distant allure of her American heritage. Through her eyes, readers experience the complexities of cultural identity, the warmth of familial bonds, and the bittersweet longing for a place called home. As she navigates the challenges of expatriate life, her story unfolds with humor, nostalgia, and a deep sense of belonging to two worlds, yet feeling fully at home in neither.
