With a new sister on the
way, Priscilla “Cilla” Lee-Jenkins needs to write her
memoir, fast. Cilla, a future author extraordinaire, is
destined for greatness, while her new sibling, “The
Blob,” is sure to be boring. Once this memoir is
published, and Cilla is a bestselling author, her family
surely will not forget about her, even after the baby is
born. Besides, Cilla’s family is fine as it is: just
her, Mom, and Dad, with visits to Grandma and Grandpa
Jenkins on Saturdays and trips to Nai Nai and Yeye’s in
Chinatown on Wednesdays. As Cilla reflects on all eight
and a half years of her life, she discovers that looking
back on the past might just help shape new family
traditions for the future. |
SUBJECTS: Families -- Fiction. Friendship -- Fiction. Authorship -- Fiction. Chinese Americans -- Fiction. |
