Through a series of stories--some epic, like her mother and father's daring escapes from communes during China's Cultural Revolution, and some banal, like her quitting Chinese school to watch Saturday morning cartoons--Wong carefully examines the cultural, historical, language, and personality barriers to intimacy in her family, seeking answers to the questions \"Where did I come from?\" and \"Where are we going?\" At the same time, she discovers how storytelling can bridge distances and help make sense of a life.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eA book for children of immigrants trying to honor their parents' pasts while also making a different kind of future for themselves, \u003cem\u003e All Our Ordinary Stories \u003c\/em\u003eis poignant in its understated yet nuanced depictions of complicated family dynamics.
