Miracle Creek – Angie KimRead about another entry on the list.
On the surface, this book is about a grizzly and unique murder of a child in a compression chamber meant to treat his autism. But it is so much more than that. One of its central themes is about an immigrant family and how they have had to reinvent themselves in America. They were one thing before they left Korea and another in their new country. They are also identified as outsiders, and easy to blame for the tragedy. A great exploration of what it can be like to be in America these days.
