Perfect for fans of Pachinko and Last Night at the Telegraph Club, this propulsive, tender novel follows an immigrant family across generations as they navigate love, belonging, and the great fictions we must weave to preserve a legacy.

For centuries, the Chin family has kept its secrets.

In 1878, Duanfang knows he’s destined for greatness. He’ll do anything to uphold and protect the legacy of his Manchu family—even if it means hiding his past.

In 1966, Zheng Yi flies from Taiwan to New York City to have a shot at attending an American college. Thrown into a world of parties, prejudice, and a tumultuous romance, Yi worries that New York may be more than she can handle. But just as she is beginning to adjust, she must make a shocking decision that will irrevocably change her life and her future forever.

Today, Dawn Chin’s family is opaque at best, with heavy expectations and heavier silences. But an assignment to interview her grandmother is about to crack open her real family history: a legacy hundreds of years old, and a lie decades in the making . . .

Three best friends have one life-changing summer in this contemporary, Asian American Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants.

Jia Lee, Ariel Kim, and Everett Hoang have been best friends since their parents took them to Flushing, Queens’ Lunar New Year festival when they were seven years old. Now seventeen, they’re inseparable. The only thing is, they won’t be together this summer.

Jia will be home in Flushing, juggling her parents’ Chinatown restaurant, a cute new neighbor, and dreams for her uncertain future. Ariel is flying to San Francisco for a prestigious psychology scholarship — even though her heart is in South Korea, where her sister died last year. And Everett hopes to nab the lead role in an Ohio theater production that is not exactly what it seems. As the girls grapple with first love, family duty, grief, and racism, they lean on each other and realize that even though they’re apart, they are still mighty together.

Inspired by the author’s own hometown and friendships, THE QUEENS OF NEW YORK is an uplifting and cinematic young adult story that will break your heart and put it back together again.
