From the rear cover
From struggling war refugees to Buddhist monks, intellectuals to sex workers, Russell Charles Leong's characters are both linked and separated by their experiences as modern Asians and Asian Americans. A young teen-ager, sold into prostitution to finance her brothers' education, saves her hair trimmings -- the one part of her body that is under her own control -- to burn once a year in a temple ritual. A documentary film producer, raised in a noisy Hong Kong family, marvels at the popular image of Asian Americans as a silenced minority. Traditional Chinese families struggle to come to terms with gay children and AIDS.
