The Body Papers: A Memoir by Grace Talusan

challenging emotional hopeful informative reflective fast-paced

5.0

Still processing this memoir. Found she was coming to my area for a reading. Tells an amazing story that is both unique and yet universal. Having come to the United States when just two years old in the early 70s, Grace Talusan recounts a tale familiar to a generation Filipino and Filipino Americans. Her memoir includes episodes of personal trauma, cultural and generational reflections, effect of spiritual and physical health.

I found it captivating and want to share it with many, but particularly, the AAPI community.
