A Chinese American family living in Silicon Valley are pursuing the American dream. When the father becomes ill with pancreatic cancer and death looms on the horizon, his ex-wife urges their two adult children to make sure the will is up to date and reflects that the children will receive their inheritance.
The story has well drawn characters who exhibit both the best and the worst characteristics of people we all probably know in our own lives. Having been involved in a family dispute over an inheritance, I could relate to this story. The author must have done a good job of portraying reality because the story evoked a lot of emotions in me - - particularly, why do adult children automatically think they are entitled to their parents’ money. I felt the ending gave the children exactly what they deserved. Hopefully, they will realize what is really important in life.
