Beautiful Country

by Qian Julie Wang

'Beautiful Country' is a deeply moving and candid memoir that shines a light on the hidden lives of undocumented immigrants in America. At age seven, Qian Julie Wang steps into the land of her dreams, the 'Beautiful Country' of America, only to find herself in a labyrinth of fear and scarcity. As her family struggles beneath the pressures of remaining invisible, Qian's resilience, her discovery of small joys, and her hunger for knowledge guide her through the shadows of poverty and anonymity. Her journey is a poignant exploration of the sacrifices that undocumented families make and a testament to the unyielding hope and spirit of a young girl.
