Summary

For years Lee Lien has kept the rigid expectations of her Vietnamese family at bay. It's a tactic she's practiced nearly her whole life, starting with her childhood escapes into books like 'Little House on the Prairie' and extending through college. But now, jobless with a PhD in literature, Lee finds herself right back at home in the Chicago suburbs, living the very life she and her brother, Sam, had vowed they'd avoid at all costs: working in their mother's hard-won restaurant, beneath her hypercritical gaze.
