This review is from: Getting Saved in America: Taiwanese Immigration and Religious Experience (Hardcover)
After reading Carolyn Chen's Getting Saved in America: Taiwanese Immigration and Religious Experience, I appreciated more my parents' sacrifices and gained more insight into my internal conflicts between the culture I was born with and the culture I was born into as an American Born Chinese.
Found myself identifying more with the Mrs. Liaos and the Mr. Hous in the book than with their ABC children. Perhaps that is due to my parents' abrupt move to China. Maybe it was the sudden independence or maybe it was my effectively becoming a homeowner at age 18 and thus inheriting all the responsibilities that come with it (e.g. they made me power of attorney so I could finish refinancing the family home). At any rate, I was pulled out of my shell, enrolled in the school of hard knocks, and finally realizing my potential. Along the way, my faith, as did the faith of Mrs. Liao and Mr. Hou, increased. And for good reason. |
