Last time, we dropped hints about our first read as a book club. So, without further ado, Asian Book Club's first pick is . . . cue the obligatory drum roll, please . . . Malaka Gharib's I Was Their American Dream! In this episode, we read the back cover and predict what we'll encounter in this memoir before we begin the book.


Malaka Gharib is a journalist, cartoonist, and graphic novelist who works as an editor at NPR. In her debut memoir I Was Their American Dream, she shares her parents' experience immigrating to the United States as well as her personal experience navigating her young life as a first-generation Asian American.
