520 1 $a"Mei-Ling Hopgood was an all-American girl. She grew up in the midwest, was a high school pom-pom girl, studied journalism at the University of Missouri, and became a reporter for a Michigan newspaper. She wasn't really curious about her Asian roots, though she knew she was adopted. Then one day, when she was in her twenties, her birth family from Taiwan came calling - on the phone, on the computer, by fax - in a language she didn't understand. The Wangs wanted to meet her; they wanted her to return home." "As her sisters and parents pulled her into their lives, claiming her as one of their own, Mei-Ling fell in love with them. But this unexpected reunion has a price. She uncovers the devastating secrets that haunt them to this day as she attempts to understand the hard choices of her birth mother." "Lucky Girl journeys into Chinese culture - its magnificent sights, war-torn history, and sumptuous foods - while revealing the personal suffering wrought by the country's tightly held traditions. Mei-Ling finds that although both the Hopgoods and the Wangs have shaped her identity, it's up to her to figure out who she is."--BOOK JACKET.
