Snow's Kitchen: A Novella and Cookbook by Amy M. Le (English) Hardcover Book

Description: Snow's Kitchen by Amy M. Le "Snows Kitchen" is the final book in the "Snow" trilogy and is written in the voice of Snows daughter, Dolly. This Young Adult novella is a coming of age story that turns a young refugee girls life upside down as she journeys toward independence.Dolly was thirteen years old when her family moved from Seattle to Orange County, California. Lost between two cultures, she did not feel Vietnamese or American. In her search to find a community of her own, Dolly lost her identity, her voice, and her sense of self. It was through the experience of first love, the discovery of new wave music, the appreciation of traditional foods, and the survival of tough love that she understood identity was rooted in self-love and self-acceptance.Amy M. Le, award-winning author of "Snow in Vietnam" and "Snow in Seattle," gives readers a glimpse into the Vietnamese youth culture of the 1990s as they carved their own niche in America following resettlement from the Vietnam War. Diverging viewpoints from old-fashioned parents living in a progressive America brought conflict and cultural divide within familial generations. Food and music were the two elements that threaded the cultural and societal gaps.Join us in Snows Kitchen as we transition from the novella to the cookbook where pho, egg rolls, crepes, and other favorite foods from the Snow trilogy brings us together at the table to break bread and discover commonalities between different worlds. Similar to Fannie Flaggs "Fried Green Tomatoes at the Whistle Stop Cafe," Jill Conner Brownes "Sweet Potato Queens" novels, and Patricia Cornwells "Kay Scarpetta" series, Snows Kitchen is chock-full of recipes and plot twists.
