“Beautiful Country” is a spare and moving memoir in which Qian Julie Wang tells the story of the first years of her family’s life in America—where they arrived from China in 1994, and where as an impoverished undocumented girl she was never allowed or able to be her full self. In telling her personal story, she reveals a side of the American Dream familiar to so many immigrants as more of a nightmare. A Brooklynite, Yale Law graduate and managing partner of her own firm, Gottlieb & Wang LLP, Wang discusses her journey and the healing act of telling her own story.
