Beautiful Country by Qian Julie Wang

I’ve been trying to read more memoirs the past couple years, this one was recommended by a colleague. This was an interesting one, because she only gives us a snapshot of the first 2 ish years of her life in America — 2 years that for a long time she was pressured to be silent about. So this memoir reads like she is telling the story of another girl: someone she had to dig deep to find & remember. Really raw writing.
