SIGNED BY S. THAMMAVONGSA on publisher's book plate on half-title page; As New; A young man painting nails at the local salon. A woman plucking feathers at a chicken processing plant. A father who packs furniture to move into homes he'll never afford. A mother who works nights alongside her daughter, harvesting worms. A housewife learning English from daytime soap operas. Thammavongsa focuses on characters struggling to find their bearings in unfamiliar territory, illuminating their hopes, disappointments, love affairs, acts of defiance, and, above all, their pursuit of a place to belong. In spare, intimate prose charged with emotional power and a sly wit, she paints an indelible portrait of watchful children, wounded men, and restless women caught between cultures, languages, and values.
