An Instant New York Times Bestseller! This joyful and lyrical picture book from New York Times bestselling author Eva Chen and illustrator Sophie Diao is a moving ode to the immigrant experience, as well as a manifesto of self-love for Chinese American children. What do you see when you look in the mirror, Mei? Do you see beauty? We see eyes that point toward the sun, that give us the warmth and joy of a thousand rays when you smile. We see hair as inky black and smooth as a peaceful night sky. We see skin brushed with gold. Praise for I Am Golden: "[A] richly metaphoric celebration of Chinese American identity ... Luminous, gently textured digital art by Diao includes thoughtful, recognizably Chinese cues that add further dimension ... A loving, affecting tribute to how children of immigrants can serve as bridges and torchbearers for their communities." —Publishers Weekly, starred review "From the outset, this gorgeous picture book exudes joy and celebration of identity. Through dazzling illustrations, Diao brings to exuberant life best-selling Chinese American author Chen’s message of finding love and power in one’s differences. ... This powerful and uplifting story captures [Chinese] American joy and is a definite must-read." —Booklist, starred review

But when Essence finds herself in a car accident with Preston Tillman, a heart-throbbing, charming young man who adores her at first sight, she learns that her marriage is not as solid as she thinks. Preston is determined to one day make Essence his wife. He will stop at nothing to take her from the arms of a man he doesn't think deserves her. Neil is blindsided by Essence's betrayal, and never in his wildest dreams did he think she'd be willing to partake in a sexual tryst, right in their own bedroom.

Critical decisions have to be made, and once the dust settles, a bombshell could send Essence to her knees, wishing she'd never chosen lust over love.
