Endorsements

"A compelling, honest, and very human tale about self-identity and the complex concept of family."  -- Kathleen Flinn, author of The Sharper Your Knife, the Less You Cry

"An uplifting and beautiful journey that brings out all your emotions." —Michelle Yu, coauthor of China Dolls

“Mei-Ling Hopgood’s riveting memoir traces a young woman’s journey to understand the forces that shaped her life. Heartwarming and addictive, LUCKY GIRL captures the beauty—and the luck—of finding home.” —Danielle Trussoni, author of Falling Through the Earth

“Hopgood has it all: a journalist’s brain, a camerawoman’s eye, and a storyteller’s heart. In LUCKY GIRL, she beautifully weaves the tricky helix of hope and heredity, showing us that fractured families are sometimes the most whole. On every page, Hopgood’s unflinching honesty, emotional acuity, and narrative grace ground this intimate story of family ties tattered, torn, and, in unexpected ways, restored.”—Kelly McMasters, author of Welcome to Shirley: A Memoir from an Atomic Town
