The Woman Warrior: Memoirs of a Girlhood Among Ghosts / Maxine Hong Kingston, 209 pgs.
A powerful story of the author's history and youth. A bit of growing up, dealing with family and being an immigrant with a backdrop of Chinese myths and reality. The sections of the book kind of all stand alone. Starting with the family history in China and ending in the family business in California - a laundry of course. There is suffering and some funny parts too. If you can read this in a sitting or two, it would be best, I think.
