Picture Us in the Light

When Danny discovers a taped-up box in his father's closet filled with old letters and a file on a powerful Silicon Valley family, he realizes there's much more to his family's past than he ever imagined. Danny has been an artist for as long as he can remember, and it seems his path is set, with a scholarship to RISD and his family's blessing to pursue the career he's always dreamed of. Still, contemplating a future without his best friend, Harry Wong, by his side makes Danny feel a panic he can barely put into words.

Harry and Danny's lives are deeply intertwined, and as they approach the one-year anniversary of a tragedy that shook their friend group to its core, Danny can't stop asking himself if Harry is truly in love with his girlfriend, Regina Chan. When Danny digs deeper into his parents' past, he uncovers a secret that disturbs the foundations of his family history, and the carefully constructed façade his parents have maintained begins to crumble.

With everything he loves in danger of being stripped away, he must face the ghosts of the past in order to build a future that belongs to him.

A poignant, touching novel for the Asian American millennial

A friend recommended this to me and I went in with no expectations on what this book was going to be about. I immediately liked it because it centered around an Asian American growing up in a competitive high school environment, trying to get into the best college possible. As the story developed, I couldn’t really figure out what the actual plot was. There’s a lot of character development with Danny, his two best friends, his parents, and even within himself. I felt the middle kind of dragged on a bit, but then the story really picked up at the end, at which point I was hooked. I really enjoyed the ending and would recommend this book to any Asian American millennial.
