Pioneer Girl by Bich Minh Nguyen
3.0
Unfortunately I have zero interest in Little House on the Prairie, so I wish that the story had been anchored by something else. I get that it's symbolic and it represents Lee's view of the American Dream, but I did not need a book about an Asian American family to be centered around a white family from the pioneer days. Really.
I will say though that gosh this has confirmed that I am truly Chinese-Vietnamese-American even though I have 0% Viet blood in me. I saw my family in Lee's family, which was unsettling but also interesting. Although my mom is not as awful as Lee's mom. I would probably have left ages ago if my mom was like that.
