Pioneer Girl: A Novel

â€œA powerful and wholly original American saga.â€ â€”San Francisco Chronicle

Bich Minh Nguyenâ€™s previous booksâ€”the acclaimed memoir Stealing Buddhaâ€™s Dinner and the American Book Awardâ€“winning novel Short Girlsâ€”established her talents as a writer of keen cultural observation. In Pioneer Girl, Nguyen entwines the Asian American experience with the escapist pleasures of literature, in a dazzling mystery about the origins of Laura Ingalls Wilderâ€™s classic Little House on the Prairie.

Lee Lien has long dodged her Vietnamese familyâ€™s rigid expectations by immersing herself in books. But now, jobless with a PhD in literature, she is back at home, working in her familyâ€™s restaurant under her motherâ€™s hypercritical gazeâ€”until an heirloom from their past sends Lee on a search for clues that may lead back to Wilder herself, transforming strangersâ€™ lives as well as her own.
