I am an aspiring Chinese American writer currently based in Philadelphia, who lived and worked in China for nine years. As a physician-lawyer working in an international hospital, I was privileged to hear the stories of many Chinese families who lived during and after the Cultural Revolution. I also worked with the China CDC as a contributing author to the book HIV/AIDS in China: Beyond the Numbers. My experiences in China served as inspiration for my novel, Heartland.
No kidding! I wrote most of my first novel, Finding Home (Hungary, 1945) before I could write an effective hook. My first thought on the matter (and probably yours and everybody else's) was "how the heck am I supposed to describe this multilayered wonderful novel in one sentence??
