Hi again!

I'm now looking for an adult/mature young adult/teen book that features
strong Asian women and is authored by a female Asian writer.  This
teacher has used The Good Earth and The Joy Luck Club (and other Amy Tan
novels) before.  

I suggested Thousand Splendid Sons (written by a man), Habibi and
Homeless Bird, but she'd like more suggestions.  She'd also prefer it to
be published in paperback.

Thanks,

Personally, I'm voting for 'research' to mean 'speculation' and
'corroborated' to mean 'a zesty sour cream-based dip.'"
