Made in China: A Memoir of Love and Labor, by Anna Qu (Catapult, $26) “Made in China is an emotionally wrenching and engrossing memoir about abuse, immigration, and the American dream.

Other Indie Favorites Clark and Division: A Novel, by Naomi Hirahara (Soho Crime, $27.95) “Clark and Division is a propulsive mystery and a heart-wrenching examination of Japanese internment and relocation in the 1940s.
