A River of Stars by Vanessa Hua

5.0

A River of Stars is the story of Scarlett, a Chinese woman who becomes pregnant as the result of an affair--with the son that her lover always wanted. She is sent to America to have her baby, so that the boy can wield the powers of dual citizenship and open a pathway for his family. The plan goes off the rails, though, and Scarlett has to rely on her quick wit and newly found community to protect and uplift her family as she fights to find her place in America. Readers in the U.S. can see an immigrant perspective on the value of American citizenship, and get an inside look at Chinese immigration and integration into American culture. Rich with detail, deeply moving, and highly recommended.
