Description
What Happened This Summer takes us into the turbulent lives of Chinese-Canadian teenagers. We are drawn into their often agonizing struggles to balance their parents' traditional expectations against the pull of today's urban youth culture. Author Paul Yee gives us a vivid snapshot of the tensions which arise from the immigration experience as he explores the profound impact of up-rootedness upon the lives of young people.
