Here, Yang tells the story of her journey and the events that molded her life--from her birth in China in 1964, growing up as an only surviving child under Communist rule, to immigrating to America and coordinating a successful entertainment career. From her school days to her friends, to her marriage and daughter's birth, she provides a glimpse of the many differences between life in China and in the United States. Her story communicates the trials and tribulations of one family's struggle on two continents and two cultures to obtain an unimaginable dream.--From publisher description.
