Requests:  0 Summary:  "Joan is a thirtysomething ICU physician at a busy New York City hospital. The daughter of Chinese parents who moved to America to secure the American dream for their children, Joan is intensely devoted to her work, happily solitary, successful. She does look up sometimes and wonder where her true roots lie: at the hospital, where her white coat makes her feel needed, or with her family, who try to shape her life according to their own cultural and social expectations. Once Joan and her brother, Fang, were established in their careers, their parents moved back to China, hoping to spend the rest of their lives in their homeland. But when Joan's father suddenly dies and her mother returns to America to reconnect with her children, a series of events sends Joan spiraling out of her comfort zone just as her hospital, her city, and the world are forced to reckon with a health crisis more devastating than anyone could imagine. Deceptively spare and quietly powerful, laced with sharp humor, Joan Is Okay touches on deeply resonant matters: being Chinese American right now, working in medicine at a high-stakes time, being a woman in a male-dominated workplace, and staying independent within a tight-knit family. But above all, it's a portrait of a remarkable woman so marvelously surprising that you can't get her out of your head"--Dust jacket flap.   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status   Liliha Public Library Adult Fiction Wang Checked In Add Copy to MyList Manoa Public Library Adult Fiction Wang Checked In Add Copy to MyList Mililani Public Library Adult Fiction Wang Checked In Add Copy to MyList North Kohala Public Library Adult Fiction Wang Checked In Add Copy to MyList Pearl City Public Library Adult Fiction Wang Checked In Add Copy to MyList Thelma Parker Memorial P/S Library Adult Fiction Wang Checked In Add Copy to MyList Wahiawa Public Library Adult Fiction Wang Checked In Add Copy to MyList Waianae Public Library Adult Fiction Wang Checked In Add Copy to MyList Waikiki-Kapahulu Public Library Adult Fiction Wang Checked In Add Copy to MyList Wailuku Public Library Adult Fiction Wang Checked In Add Copy to MyList More Results: Prev 1 2 3 Next
