Description

Selected Works of Lisi Zhang is a deeply moving and sharply observed memoir that spans continents, decades, and emotional landscapes. With vivid storytelling and heartfelt prose, Zhang reflects on her remarkable life—from a childhood in China during the Cultural Revolution, to her immigration to the United States with only $30 in her pocket, and her eventual rise as a legal professional and writer.

Blending personal recollection with social insight, Zhang’s work invites readers into a rich tapestry of stories: the tenderness of family bonds, the sting of historical trauma, the complexity of identity, and the quiet resilience that grows through adversity. Her legal case narratives—drawn from over 30 years of real-life experience—offer rare and honest glimpses into the lives of immigrants navigating the American legal system.

At once poetic, poignant, and pragmatic, this book is more than a memoir—it is a cultural bridge, a tribute to perseverance, and a voice for those navigating life between identities and relationships.

Perfect for readers who enjoy:
1. Thoughtful memoirs with cultural depth
2. First-generation immigrant stories
3. Chinese-American perspectives
4. Real-life legal drama with human heart
5. Stories of women overcoming hardship with grace
