(3) YA First Person Fiction series. Ostensibly a story of growing up Korean American, this fictionalized memoir is as much a picture of mid-1970s middle-class American life, Star Wars and all. First in Memphis and then in Houston, Jin-Han's immigrant family tries for the American dream by running wig stores in black neighborhoods. Son adroitly blends the theme of assimilation with detail attentive to the particulars of Jin-Han's boyhood.
