BELONG? On the precipice of Y2K  unpaid intern Lily Chen is attempting to live the American
dream in New York City. But her scientist parents imagined so much more for her when they fled
Mao's cultural revolution  hoping for a better life. Despite the glamour of her media job  Lily
can barely make rent - until she falls into the arms of Matthew. This young financier can give
her a fairy tale life of luxury  and for the first time her dreams appear within reach. High
school student Nick Chen and his best friend Timothy are plotting to break free. College
promises escape from an isolated and close-knit island in Washington State  space from his
strict and secretive mum Lily  and the chance to finally fit in. But when Nick sets out to find
his long-lost father  a world of questions opens  and it is one unexpected member of the Chen
family who holds the key to it all. Real Americans is a family epic about identity  sacrifice 
choices and fate. It is a wildly imaginative and profound story of betrayal and forgiveness
that asks us how far we should go for those we love.*** 'Traverses time with verve and feeling'
