Four Treasures of the Sky by Jenny Tinghui Zhang
5.0

Yet another favorite read for me this year. It's so beautifully written and profound. The story of a young girl's life from China to America and what she went through to survive in a foreign land. She finds early on she can't trust anyone and especially cannot survive as a girl in the streets. The story also paralells what the Asian community sees today, the anti-Chinese and racism towards Asian Americans. It really shows how long it's been since the Anti-Chinese Act and how little we have progressed. This is such a fantastic read and I highly recommend it.
