Synopsis
The daughter of a Beijing ballerina and a noodle maker, Charlie Wong grew up in New York's Chinatown. Though American born, her entire life has been limited to one small Chinese community. Now grown, she lives with her widowed father and 11 year old sister and works - miserably - as a dishwasher. But when Charlie lands a job as a receptionist at a ballroom dance studio, she gains access to a world she hardly knew existed. Discovering a love (and a talent) for dance helps her blossom - until her sister falls ill and she must reconcile her new life with her family., From the bestselling author of Searching for Sylvie Lee and Girl in Translation , an inspiring novel about a young woman torn between her family duties in Chinatown and her escape into a more Western world. Twenty-two-year-old Charlie Wong grew up in New York's Chinatown, the older daughter of a Beijing ballerina and a noodle maker. Though an ABC (American-born Chinese), Charlie's entire life has been limited to this small area. Now grown, she lives in the same tiny apartment with her widower father and her eleven-year-old sister, and works--miserably--as a dishwasher. But when she lands a job as a receptionist at a ballroom dance studio, Charlie gains access to a world she hardly knew existed, and everything she once took to be certain turns upside down. Gradually, at the dance studio, awkward Charlie's natural talents begin to emerge. With them, her perspective, expectations, and sense of self are transformed--something she must take great pains to hide from her father and his suspicion of all things Western. As Charlie blossoms, though, her sister becomes chronically ill. As Pa insists on treating his ailing child exclusively with Eastern practices to no avail, Charlie is forced to try to reconcile her two selves and her two worlds--Eastern and Western, old world and new--to rescue her little sister without sacrificing her newfound confidence and identity.
