Coconut

"COCONUT is an exploration of my place in the universe as told through stories of the author's experiences of racism, sexuality, empowerment, grief, and love. It tells girls like her that their origins live within themselves, and that their stories of the mundane and profound alike make up who they are. The book is written in an unrestricted confessional style, confronting notions of propriety and form, to touch on themes that matter to the author as a woman and second-generation immigrant in a capitalist, exploitative, and degrading world."--
