Tasha's book is a beautiful collection of stories about her mother and herself, focusing on their experience as Asian-American women of faith. Every hard, lovely word is connected in a way that is stunning and moving. Whether or not you are biracial or multi-ethnic, these stories of the ways our family history affects both our present and, in particular, our understanding of God will resonate. Five stars, highly recommend! (The audiobook is especially wonderful.)
I really enjoyed this book. Her story is captivating and inspiring for me as a parent raising multicultural kids. I’m grateful she told her story even though I’m sure it was painful at times.
A beautiful book on belonging. A beautiful ending chapter too that's worth the price of admission.
Beautiful reflection. Christianity heavily sprinkled throughout.

I had a love hate relationship with this one. I almost DNFed it because of the amount of religious content.
I was also really bothered by two different (factually inaccurate) statements she made - one regarding history and the other regarding hair texture.
But damn if I didn't see myself in some of the passages!
The author of Tell Me the Dream Again, Tasha Jun, speaks about her experience growing up biracial. If you have ever struggled with the suppression and assimilation between two cultures - you'll relate to pieces of this story. She specifically writes on trying to find her place inside of the Christian church among people telling her that her identity and culture is not important to her faith. It also has themes of racism, generational trauma, family, and food.
