In The Many Daughters of Afong Moy, Jamie Ford takes us through two hundred years-worth of the descendants of the woman known as the first Chinese person to come to the United States. In a swiftly changing world, Afong’s many female descendants grapple with personal issues, hardships due to climate change, war, and social norms, and generational family trauma that haunts them in a very real way. Exploring epigenetics, trauma, perilous relationships, and the fantastic, this speculative-literary blend had me from the first page-literally the author’s note at the beginning of the book!

ABOUT JAMIE FORD
Jamie Ford is the great-grandson of Nevada mining pioneer Min Chung, who emigrated from Hoiping, China to San Francisco in 1865, where he adopted the western name Ford, thus confusing countless generations. His debut novel, Hotel on the Corner of Bitter and Sweet, spent two years on the New York Times bestseller list and went on to win the 2010 Asian/Pacific American Award for Literature. His work has been translated into thirty-five languages. Having grown up in Seattle, he now lives in Montana with his wife and a one-eyed pug.
20 years since release of debut album All I Have July 30, 2002
Thank you for the love!
I'm 20 years old, living in India. I heard your song, '1 thing' in a video game a few months ago. That's the first time I ever heard of you and I was just transfixed by the precussion, the boundless raw passion on the vocals, the energy, just the love for the craft that was in that song stayed with me.
I don't usually listen to a lot of contemporary R&B acts but this song from the early 2000s felt so sincere and wonderful.
And then I find out you're not as active anymore, and I come across this UA-cam channel.
And your book recommendedations are just as intriguing as your music. I don't often see artists these days that are as intellectually engaged so publicly.
Thank you so much for the kind words and love, Prajwal. Many blessings to you!✨
Just a quick reminder that you're a force of creativity, Unique and unmatched, been a fan since 2002 and your songs and álbums were my life, and are till today, I always show them to my friends here in Argentina and My Home country Venezuela and they also love you . Thanks for sharing your talent, i'll be a supporter forever ❤️
Thank you so much for the love and kind words. I hope to visit both Argentina and Venezuela in the future!
Drive. One of the best R&B albums ever created!!!! 😉
I find this to be terrifying. To move to a foreign country and make a life for yourself, That's bravery, resilience and toughness. Can't wait to read!
It was quite a terrifying experience for her, for so many reasons!
Trapped in the book club (3 months) came for the music
Amerie i just found out about your song 1 thing me and my family love it
Good morning Mrs. Amerie
My wife is a huge fan of yours and August 30th will be her 33rd birthday! It would be awesome if you could give her a bday wish. That would truly make her day. This is a young lady who when we got married in 2017 walked out to your song Somebody Up There. Her name is Shevonne and she loves you. I'm also a huge fan of yours and my favorite song of yours is Why Don't We Fall in Love. The fact that you're my favorite singer and that she loves you made us have something in common and helped us bond. If you could do this, I would be forever thankful. 🙏🏾🙏🏾
I’m sold
I hope you enjoy the read!

You are so welcome!
Amerie....it's 2024 and music needs a CULTURAL RESET...music needs saviors...are you and Rich Harrison ready to reunite for a FULL album or EP under your indie label and Richcraft? We need your sounds and vocals to EXCITE the world again. It's been too long and people would EAT - IT - UP! The sound that made us fall in love (all pun) with YOU.
Sounds like an interesting book something I would read
It's such a great read!
Hey Amerie! This sounds really interesting. The citrus thing is so sad! I'm going to have to add this one to an upcoming PBR.
I was wondering - will you ever bring back your monthly wrap-ups and haul videos? I really miss them.
Hi Christina! I know--I was so saddened by the testing, too. And re: the videos, I miss doing monthly wrap-ups and hauls, and I hope I get the chance to work them back into my schedule eventually!
@@Amerie. Sounds good!! Thanks for your reply! Hope you are having a lovely summer ❤
I ❤ you
This sounds like a big read, but a great one 💗

thanks for the recommendation Amerie! generational trauma / curses and even positive inherited traits are so interesting. 🤍 do you know if it's available as an audio book?
I believe they have a full cast for the audiobook! If I remember correctly, they really tried to make it something special (double check an audio sample to be sure, though, as I could be misremembering!) I hope you enjoy it if you decide to pick it up.
