"A brave book about the Asian American experience and Charlene's personal journey to understand, and to break out of the straightjacket of the Model Minority myth. There are many insights here about family, careers and how it feels when your success is defined by others, and demanded by all. These insights are painfully earned and rarely shared. A timely, liberating story full of uncomfortable truths."
