I enjoyed this book - based on a young girls journey from Vietnam after the fall of Saigon to the US. Interesting take on how they viewed "fitting in" by the foods they were allowed to eat. Things we take for granted - clothing styles, etc., that they strived to attain. Given the time frame of their immigration to the US, they faced a good deal of discrimination. Beginning was very good, bogged down a little half way through.
