註釋Memoirs of an immigrant's daughter growing up in America at a time when being American meant losing one's ethnic culture and heritage. Carina Montoya shares the story of her life as a second generation Filipino-American born and raised in Los Angeles, when obstacles of discrimination shadowed minorities living in predominately white America. After five decades of fluttering through life feeling "too brown" to be "white" and "too white-washed" to be "brown," she realized there existed a glitch in her growing up as an immigrant's daughter, and that growing up in America as an American all happened as it was meant to be. Revealing, heartwarming and humorous, Carina's journey through life shows that there is no life experience that cannot be composed into a beautiful story.
