Miya Shay, Houston television journalist

Jenny Wang

Jenny Wang blends traditionally taboo topics with familiar elements of the Asian immigrant experience and in the process, shatters stereotypes in her debut novel. The author draws upon her own knowledge in real estate to add a layer of real-life grit in this fun and uplifting novel. In the process, we learn there is no singular definition of success, and as women, we should never apologize for making it on our own.
