"Eighteen-year-old Shelley, born into a much-despised branch of the Zheng family in Yunnan Province and living in the shadow of his widowed father's grief, dreams of bigger things. Buoyed by an exuberant heart and his cousin Deng's tall tales about the United States, Shelley heads to San Francisco to claim his destiny, confident that any hurdles will be easily overcome by the awesome powers of the "Chinese groove," a belief in the unspoken bonds between countrymen that transcend time and borders"-- Provided by publisher.

Engaging main character submitted by 2ndfamilies on January 21, 2024, 9:20pm Lots of bad things happen to Shelley when he comes to the U.S. to fulfill his dead mother’s dream for him, but he is so upbeat and resilient that nothing gets him down for long. You can’t help rooting for him. And the ending is unexpected.
