There were so many difficult memories to unearth. So I'm curious if you had a memory that was particularly challenging to remember and how you came to write about it? In “Beautiful Country”, you recall several memories from your childhood in vivid, vivid detail. I spoke to Wang about how she wrote her memoir and her journey coming to terms with the “American Dream.” She will speak at a Dallas Museum of Art book event on Thursday, Sept.

In Wang’s "New York Times" best-selling memoir “Beautiful Country”, she recalls her childhood as an undocumented immigrant navigating poverty and avoiding authorities and the police. Once professors in their home country, her parents now worked a variety of menial jobs as they navigated life in America. At the age of seven, Qian Julie Wang moved from China to Brooklyn with her parents.
