Asian American Women: Jean Kwak, Girl In Translation

Image

Jean Kwak's Girl In Translation chronicles the story of Kimberly, who immigrates from China to the US at the age of five.  Though enduring a life of poverty and hardship, she appears as a successful and ambitious student.  The story brings to live the dilemma many immigrants face, between succeeding in America, their own personal desires, and duty to their family.
