"Snow's Kitchen" is the final book in the "Snow" trilogy and is written in the voice of Snow's daughter, Dolly. This Young Adult novella is a coming-of-age story that turns a young refugee girl's life upside down as she journeys toward independence.

Dolly was thirteen years old when her family moved from Seattle to Orange County, California. Lost between two cultures, she did not feel Vietnamese or American. In her search to find a community of her own, Dolly lost her identity, her voice, and her independence. It was through the experience of first love, the discovery of new wave music, the appreciation of traditional foods, and the survival of tough love that she understood identity was rooted in self-love and self-acceptance.

Amy M. Le, award-winning author of "Snow in Vietnam" and "Snow in Seattle," gives listeners a glimpse into the Vietnamese youth culture of the 1990s as they carved their niche in America following resettlement from the Vietnam War. Diverging viewpoints from old-fashioned parents living in a progressive America brought conflict and cultural divide within familial generations. Food and new wave music were the two elements that threaded the cultural and societal gaps.

Join us in Snow's Kitchen as we transition from the novella to the cookbook where pho, egg rolls, crepes, and other favorite foods from the Snow trilogy bring us together at the table to break bread and discover commonalities between different worlds. Similar to Fannie Flagg's "Fried Green Tomatoes at the Whistle Stop Cafe," Jill Conner Browne's "Sweet Potato Queens" novels, and Patricia Cornwell's "Kay Scarpetta" series, Snow's Kitchen is chock-full of recipes and plot twists.
