Pretty Woman Spitting: An American's Travels in China

Loosed upon China after a series of dead-end jobs, Leanna Adams writes of a soul-broadening experience in the voice of many other twenty-somethings in her generation with raw candor. Adams made a solo journey to China to teach English, a step which offered her freedom, but one which also had its setbacks. Without any prior experience in Asia, the heart of Adams' story is an exploration of how her contemporaries have renegotiated their own boundaries along with China's rapidly changing society.
