I grew up largely in Albany, NY, but spent a lot of time in NYC, visiting family there.

Publication Day

So today's the official publication day, and so far everything for "My Chinese-America" has been a lot of fun. I had a nice review from Publisher's Weekly, and I read last week at Clayton State University in Atlanta.
