Almost American Girl: An Illustrated Memoir

"In this eye-opening graphic memoir, author Robin Ha tells the story of how she and her mother moved to the U.S. from South Korea when she was a young girl. Honest, funny and at times painful, Ha chronicles her earnest efforts to understand American culture, fit in with her Korean American cousins and make sense of her mother’s deep desire to live and work in the U.S. The book sheds light on what life is like in America through the lens of a new immigrant family – and the powerful bond between mom and daughter."
