Summary: Story about 13-year old Joe Soo, a restaurant owner's son, and his relationships with relatives spanning three generations. The relatives include an older brother who has a white girlfriend and has long since moved out of Chinatown, his parents who are about to uproot Joe from Boston's Chinatown to New Hampshire in the hopes of finding an easier time in the restaurant business, and his impoverished grandfather who serves as Joe's mentor and remains in his tiny basement apartment in the old neighborhood. Captures the enigmas of cross-cultural adolescence and a young boy's journey in understanding them.
