Troublemaker and other saints

"Meet the Wongs, Shengs, and Tsuis, and learn of their secrets and desires. Bound by friendship, love, and family, these wild and eclectic clans - whose members include a matriarch who talks to dead relatives, her nymphomaniac granddaughter, an old man living in the past of yellowing newspapers, and a young street punk - clash and connect, illuminating one another in extraordinary ways.". "Who are the troublemakers? Who are the saints? All of these characters are at a crossroads, confronting their own particular life struggles. In "Doctor," a family's golden child marries a black man and is shunned by her family. In "Mama," traditional parents come to the rescue of their bisexual daughter. And in the closing story, a thief stumbles across his past while committing what he intends to be his final robbery. Everyone in these stories is offered a chance to change - and it is surprising to see who will rise to that challenge."--BOOK JACKET.
