Review of Forget Cinderella

Christine Wong, a first generation Asian-American, elegantly illustrates the cultural diffences between her and her parents. She also reveals their shared cultural traditions as she prepares for her wedding.

Wong addresses large issues with refreshing simplicity. Her commentary is ideal for Morning Edition or All things Considered.
