Typical American (Vintage Contemporaries)

The Chang family comes to the United States with no real intention of staying; however, when the Communists take over China in 1949, Ralph Chang begins to look at the American dream in a whole new light.

First sentence: IT'S AN American story: Before he was a thinker, or a doer, or an engineer, much less an imagineer like his self-made-millionaire friend Grover Ding, Ralph Chang was just a small boy in China, struggling to grow up his father's son.
