Perfect for you if...

You've moved countries or cultures and felt the disorientation of not quite fitting in anywhere yet. You want to read immigrant stories that don't sugarcoat the hard parts alongside the hopeful ones. You're curious about what it actually costs to build a new life from scratch in a foreign country.

Maybe not for you if...

You prefer inspirational rags-to-riches narratives without the messy emotional middle. You're looking for a light, uplifting read rather than something that asks you to sit with difficulty. You have no patience for stories centred on personal struggle and reflection.

About this book

Westbound is a memoir by Li Tian Ph.D. documenting her journey from Beijing, China to New York City. While millions have immigrated to the USA in pursuit of the American Dream, fewer accounts exist of the specific challenges and hardships involved in that transition. The memoir chronicles Li's experiences during this transformational period, including her struggles, hardships, tears, laughs, love, friendship, learning, and culture shock. Through her account of personal growth and ambitions, Li aims to foster greater openness, sharing, and understanding among people from different backgrounds. She also invites readers to reflect on their own stories and how they have overcome personal adversities to achieve their envisioned success and life.
