![]() ![]() He is eventually adopted by two white college professors who move him from the Bronx to a small town upstate. ![]() With his mother gone, eleven-year-old Deming is left with no one to care for him. One morning, Deming Guo’s mother, an undocumented Chinese immigrant named Polly, goes to her job at the nail salon and never comes home. We see the story from Daniel Wilkinson’s point of view, of him struggling to understand what he wants from life, who he wants to be, and then we jump back in time when Daniel was still Deming Guo, living in a poor part of New York with his mom, her boyfriend, his sister and nephew in the tiniest apartment. ![]() The story telling is not linear, we jump back and forth between characters and between different time periods. It is a captivating life story of Deming Guo and his mother’s immigration into the United States of America. This was an incredible start to the month of May! I loved this book so much! ![]()
