The Family Chao by Lan Samantha Chang

"In a mostly White small town in Wisconsin, an Asian immigrant man and wife settled down and started their own business with their three children: the Fine Chao Restaurant. The book is told through the eyes of the three Chao family brothers as they navigate through life as minorities who struggle to find the perfect combination of integrating their Chinese roots with their American life. Intertwined in this struggle is also the mystery of who killed Leo Chao, the patriarch of this family, who is a bully and seemingly disliked by the town and his own family. Family secrets are revealed by the thorough investigation into the murder of Mr. Chao, and we find that all of Mr. Chao’s children had a hand in his demise." - L. Ngo

4/4 stars.
