val_halla's review against another edition
4.0
Chai skillfully weaves facts, memories, and experiences into her memoir of being a mixed-race Asian girl in a small - and racist - South Dakota town. The historical perspective of discrimination against Asian-Americans is excellent. Chai's recollections are also touching and interesting, but I couldn't give this book a perfect rating because bitterness still clouds many of her memories, so it ends up sounding very subjective.
