Summary:
"Fay Wu Goodson is a 25-year-old queer, multiracial woman who documents the identity journeys of other New Yorkers. She finds her videography work meaningful, but more importantly, it distracts her from investigating the challenges of her own life and keeps relationships at a distance. When the family's Taiwanese patriarch dies, Fay's Asian grandmother moves to America; and Fay, her mother, and her aunt learn unsettling truths about their family and each other. They must decide to finally confront themselves, or let their pasts destroy everything each woman has dreamed of and worked for. An unconventional story of an Asian-American matriarchy, THE BALANCE TIPS pieces together the personal histories of the Wu family and sisters Jia and Hua in an exploration of family, sexual identity, racism, and the internal struggles that hinge on East Asian culture. Written in multiple literary styles, it pays homage to fluidity, complex ideologies, and ultimately finds strength in vulnerability and that hope opens pathways to reconciliation"--Provided by publisher.
