Girl in Translation - Kepler's Staff Review

When Kimberly Chang and her mother arrive in America from Hong Kong, and are sponsored by relatives, they are forced into a deplorable living situation in an uninhabitable apartment with rats, roaches and no simple amenities like heat and electricity. They are forced into sweatshop work to survive. Yet Kim realizes that education will be key to their future, and that she will be the only one to improve their lot in life because of it. This is a satisfying read about an all too common story in America. There is love, prejudice, stress, and the will to survive and thrive at any cost. The author has put her life out there, and it is well worth your time to read it.
