Preview by Publisher Blurb
Beginning with her mother's stroke in 2014, Teresa Wong takes us on a moving journey through time and place to locate the beginnings of the disconnection she feels from her parents. Through a series of stories-some epic, like her mother and father's daring escapes from communes during China's Cultural Revolution, and some banal, like her quitting Chinese school to watch Saturday morning cartoons-Wong carefully examines the cultural, historical, language, and personality barriers to intimacy in her family, seeking answers to the questions 'Where did I come from?' and 'Where are we going?' At the same time, she discovers how storytelling can bridge distances and help make sense of a life.
