About the Book

Girl in Translation

What is it like to be surrounded every day by a language and culture you only half understand? How would it change your life?

Introducing a fresh, exciting Chinese-American voice, GIRL IN TRANSLATION is an inspiring debut about a young immigrant in America, a smart girl balancing schoolwork and factory labor, custom and desire, a girl who is forced at a young age to take responsibility for her family’s future, with decisions she may later regret.
