This book is a thematic narrative that intertwines the coming-of-age story of Taiwan with three generations of the author's family and their relationship with American culture. Together, these interconnected essays form a distinctive view of what it is like to have a transnational identity and show how the everyday politics of an international cultural identity are in fact universal.
