Review:
Early Praise for Pioneer Girl "Elegant, sharp-eyed, and very funny, Pioneer Girl is ultimately about how one finds kinship--familial, cultural, literary--that transcends the usual lexicon about identity and belonging. Navigating Vietnamese 'immigrant guilt' and a stalled academic career, Lee Lien finds escape in trying to solve a literary mystery which leads her deep into her own heart and history. A wonderful read!"
--Cristina García, author of King of Cuba and Dreaming in Cuban "I love how the Little House legend takes a wild detour into contemporary life in Pioneer Girl. Bich Minh Nguyen's wonderfully imagined literary history gets to the truth about mothers, daughters, frontiers, and the meaning of home. I couldn't put this down!"
--Wendy McClure, author of The Wilder Life
