NAAAP welcomes celebrated author, Ly Tran for a discussion on her coming-of-age memoir, House of Sticks
An extraordinary account of resilience and self-realization, HOUSE OF STICKS tells the story of a young girl’s journey from war-torn Vietnam to Ridgewood, Queens, and the challenges of forging her own path amidst a new culture and the weight of family expectations.
Certain to appeal to readers of Cathy Park Hong’s Minor Feelings, Tara Westover’s Educated, and Ocean Vuong’s On Earth We’re Briefly Gorgeous, HOUSE OF STICKS is a powerful and moving meditation on the complexities of the American dream from an immensely talented debut author, filled with heartbreak and wonder in equal measure.
You can pre-order and purchase a copy of Ly Tran’s book at Yu and Me Books here:

NAAAP will also be giving away 2 copies of House of Sticks signed by Ly Tran herself!
