DOWNLOAD EBOOK →A young girl forced to work in a Queens sweatshop calls child services on her mother in this powerful debut memoir about labor and self-worth that traces a Chinese immigrant's journey to an American future. As a teen, Anna Qu is sent by her mother to work in her family's garment factory in Queens. At home, she is treated as a maid and suffers punishment for doing her homework at night. Her mother wants to teach her a lesson: she is Chinese, not American, and such is their tough path in their new country. But instead of acquiescing, Qu alerts the Office of Children and Family Services, an act with consequences that impact the rest of her life. Nearly twenty years later, estranged from her mother and working at a Manhattan start-up, Qu requests her OCFS report. When it arrives, key details are wrong. Faced with this false narrative, and on the brink of losing her job as the once-shiny start-up collapses, Qu looks once more at her life's truths, from abandonment to an abusive family to seeking dignity and meaning in work. Traveling from Wenzhou to Xi'an to New York, Made in China is a fierce memoir unafraid to ask thorny questions about trauma and survival in immigrant families, the meaning of work, and the costs of immigration.

But then Luz left, too, and he took something from each of them. As a new school year begins, Hank, Ana, and Milo must carry on as if an alien presence never altered them. But how can they ever feel close to other people again when Luz changed everything about how they see the world and themselves? In an imaginative and heartfelt exploration of human--and non-human--nature, Leah Thomas champions the unyielding bonds between family and true friends. Because You'll Never Meet Me A William C.

Where others might let life’s disappointments dull their gusto, Ana plows ahead.- The US review of Books In a small Eastern European country, while longing for democracy to come... Ana is young and green when her husband flees the country, leaving her alone with their two-year-old daughter, Lilly, and the majority of the shares of land that has been seized by the state—including a horse racetrack near the capital. Managing what remains of her affairs leads Ana to the egocentric collector, owner of the only licensed bookmaking company in town. He is also known to be one of the wealthiest and most powerful men in the country. A joint horse racing venture is born, with Ana taking the lead. But as the years pass and Lilly grows into a young woman, Ana begins to suspect the collector of darker intentions, and his deviations from their agreement will require her to summon everything she has learned to keep her family afloat. Inspired by real events, Ana's Way is a captivating story about dreaming big, taking risks, and facing the consequences along the road to accepting every step and every misstep as part of who we are today.
