“What takes this brilliant work from a personal story to a cultural touch point is the way Foo situates her experiences into a larger conversation about intergenerational trauma, immigration, and the mind-body connection… This is a work of immense beauty.”

- Publisher’s Weekly (starred review)

“An unflinching reminder of the hidden struggles many face, told with the keen eye of a researcher and the brutality of a documentarian.”

“Foo's happy ending is nothing short of deliverance – rich and joyful and full of care the child was denied.”

- USA Today

“Absorbing… a reckoning, and Foo approaches it with candor and rigor…profoundly affecting.”

- The New York Times

“Foo’s writing is shrewdly insightful. In telling her story so compellingly, she [adds] nuance to the “model minority” myth, if not actively subverting it. Highly recommended.
