Young Laurence did'nt really knoe where he fit in. He thought of himself as American, especially since he did'nt speak Chinese and couldn't understand his grandmother, who lived in Chinatown. But others saw him as different in the conformist America of the 1950's. In this engaging memoir, the two--time Newbery Honor author tells how writing helped him start to solve the puzzle.
