My Grandfather's an Immigrant, and So Is Yours (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798472913669)

Billy Chen grows up half-Chinese in a conservative small town in Upstate New York. The times are changing as relationships transform, the town's history is uncovered, and the 2016 presidential election looms. My Grandfather's an Immigrant and So is Yours probes the personal and the worldly, the timely and the timeless in a fragmented coming of age tale.

An elegant journey through the memories that shaped an adolescence, illuminating truths both universal and personal along the way. A quietly propulsive story that takes us in search of happiness and self at their most elemental.

Karen Hattrup, author of Frannie and Tru and Our Year in Love and Parties

It's difficult to put this book down without feeling sadness for all the kids who've had to sort through all the issues that have infantilized us as adults, but also a tentative optimism that writers like Chin will lead us toward a saner, more artful future.

Benjamin Drevlow, author of Ina-Baby, A Love Story in Reverse and Bend with the Knees and Other Love Advice from My Father
