Publisher Description:

Want to learn a thing or two about a young Chinese-Americanwoman with a penchant for Hello Kitty toys, who could be found squeezing into jeans at Old Navy while being asked for detailed explanations of Yo-Yo Ma's success?

Then get ready for:

WHO
Lindsey Owyang, raised on Spaghetti-O'sand Aaron Spelling productions

WHAT
Her Secret Asian Man finally proposes

WHERE
Springtime in San Francisco and it's raining stone cold foxes

HOW
Lindsey wants to make her peace with Chinatown & country, but will a crotchety Chinese grandmother stand in her way?

WHY
Because she never expected her hottie crush fromsixth grade to show up now ...

As Lindsey continues her quest for identity, family secrets, and true love, will she find double happiness, or will she be tempted by one last lion dance with a stranger? Ultimately, Lindsey realizes that Chinese girls really wanna have chow fun.
