""Real \;Americans" begins on the precipice of Y2K in New York Ci ty\, when twenty-two-year-old Lily Chen\, an unpaid intern at a slick medi a company\, meets Matthew. Matthew is everything Lily is not: easygoing an d effortlessly attractive\, a native East Coaster\, and\, most notably\, h eir to a vast pharmaceutical empire. Lily couldn't be more different: flat -broke\, raised in Tampa\, the only child of scientists who fled Mao's Cul tural Revolution. Despite all this\, Lily and Matthew fall in love. In 202 1\, fifteen-year-old Nick Chen has never felt like he belonged on the isol ated Washington island where he lives with his single mother\, Lily. He ca n't shake the sense she's hiding something. When Nick sets out to find his biological father\, the journey threatens to raise more questions than it provides answers. In immersive\, moving prose\, Rachel Khong weaves a pro found tale of class and striving\, race and visibility\, and family and in heritance--a story of trust\, forgiveness\, and finally coming home." &mda sh\;From Catalog.
