Deceit and Other Possibilities: Stories by Vanessa Hua

5.0

What a tumultuous beautiful and powerful read that highlights how immigrant families navigate the complexities, joys, and challenges of living in America. This work highlighted so many important topics throughout the stories including navigating cultural expectations that differ between family and outside community, grappling with debt and poverty, dealing with scandal and shame, grappling with the decision to have children, and how love manifests in a plethora of forms. This work was a five star for me and so compelling.
