We Were Dreamers by Simu Liu
We Were Dreamers is a story about growing up as a third-culture kid, about losing and finding family, and about making your own luck. More than one family’s story, it is part of a larger narrative about Asian Canadian culture–a colourful and nuanced tale that is worthy of being told and deserving of a wide readership.
