Where are you really from??

I was born in South Koreaand am really from there, Alyssa was born in Kansas City Missouri and her family is really from Wales.

In Our Laundry, Our Town by Alvin Eng, as a first-generation Chinese American, he would frequently get asked this question when he would answer with: Flushing! He was born in the US, his father was a paper son and his parents had an arranged marriage before they were fully settled in the US. His family owns a hand laundry business, where he helps out, but would rather be a rock star!

In this memoir he recalls the ups and downs of his childhood growing up in Flushing NYC. He went into detail about how many times he felt like he didn’t quite fit in anywhere, he was never quite Chinese enough for Chinatown and not American enough for everyone else.

I enjoyed reading about Alvin Eng’s childhood and I was able to relate to many of things he went through, I think this would be a great audio book, with the author narrating!
