Becoming Chinese: Essays on Self-Discovery from Head to Toe
A luminous collection of personal essays that traces one woman’s lifelong journey of identity, faith, and belonging. Structured around the body—from hair to feet—Lauren Lisa Ng reflects on growing up as a second-generation Chinese American, navigating racism, cultural inheritance, and spiritual vocation. With lyrical prose and theological depth, these essays explore what it means to reclaim heritage, listen to ancestral wisdom, and live into wholeness in a world that often fragments identity. This is a book for anyone who has ever lived between worlds and discovered that becoming is sacred work.
