Hearing Mr Vuong on "On Being" prompted me to read this book. He tells the story starting in Vietnam son of a mixed race couple and moves to the US w/ his Mom and Grandmother. This book is a letter to his Mom who endures unspeakable hardships often under American eyes. It is a coming of age description full of love, heartbreak, tenderness, violence and growth often very graphic. This story follows a path as one's mind might, start telling a story and remembering more details as the telling continues.
