"Growing up, Constance Wu spent most of her childhood suppressing her bold, emotional nature. Acting became her refuge, her touchstone, and eventually her vocation. At eighteen she moved to New York, where she'd spend the next ten years struggling to make rent before her two big breaks: the TV sitcom Fresh Off the Boat and the hit film Crazy Rich Asians. Through raw and relatable essays, Constance shares memories of childhood, young love and heartbreak, sexual assault and harassment, and how she "made it" in Hollywood. Her stories offer a look at being Asian American in the entertainment industry and the evolution of her identity and influence in the public eye"-- Back cover.
