ACC STL Bridges Event: Author/Book Discussion: Real Americans by Rachel Khong

The Bridges Group has always been about bringing Members together to learn more about the differences and similarities between people.

Please join the Diversity & Inclusion Bridges Group for an evening hosted by St. Louis County Library Foundation and Left Bank Books with author Rachel Khong and a discusion of her newest novel:  Real Americans

Award-winning author of “Goodbye, Vitamin,” Rachel Khong presents an exhilarating novel of American identity that spans three generations in one family. “Real Americans” begins on the precipice of Y2K, when twenty-two-year-old Lily Chen, the only child of scientists who fled Mao’s Cultural Revolution, meets easygoing and effortlessly attractive Matthew - heir to a vast pharmaceutical empire. Twenty one years later, Lily’s son Nick sets out to find his biological father, a journey that threatens to raise more questions than it answers. Exuberant and explosive, “Real Americans” weaves a profound tale of class and striving, race and visibility, family and finally coming home.
