CHINA DOLLS by Michelle Yu & Blossom Kan www.chinadollsnovel.com

With the traditions and family closeness of The Joy Luck Club and the sass, girl friendships and humor of Sex and the City, comes a novel about three Asian-American women balancing life, love and one another in New York City. CHINA DOLLS  is based on personal experience and introduces three remarkable characters named M.J, Alex and Lin.Ø      M.J is a tomboyish sportswriter struggling to fit into her family’s traditional Chinese culture and the predominantly Caucasian male world of sports.  Ø      Alex is a confident no-nonsense attorney fighting the submissive Asian woman stereotype and the fear of taking risks after a heartbreaking romance. Ø       Lin is the risk-taking stockbroker trying not to relive her mother's mistakes— that is until she falls for the office playboy. Authentic, intelligent and funny, CHINA DOLLS explores how culture can affect one’s personal and professional lives.  As if dating isn’t hard enough in New York City, these women have to balance the expectations of family and exceed expectations in the workplace, all while looking for Mr. Right.  China Dolls embraces the fusion of these two cultures – a phenomenon that will grasp bothcommercial and young Asian-American readers today.

“A fun tale that weaves together the journeys of three very different, yet deeply bonded, women in their search for love and professional fulfillment in the big city.”—Emma McLaughlin & Nicola Kraus, authors of The Nanny Diaries 

“A smart, sassy saga that explores the bonds of female friendship and the cultural ties between generations.”–Emily Giffin, author of Baby Proof
