Having broken through the glass ceiling of the comedy scene, Asian-American comedian Ali Wong writes a series of heartfelt letters to her young daughters. In these letters, she discusses her life, and describes her efforts to become a comedian in a world of white male comedians, a feat that required her to work harder than most to avoid being the token Asian girl on stage. Ali also talks about the trials and tribulations of a life spent on the road, the difficulties of raising two young daughters, the clash of values between her parents' Asian roots and her American life, and falling in love with her husband.
Ali's advice applies equally well to her daughters and to the rest of the world when she recommends that you have to do the best you can, and reach as far as you can. Fans of Ali's raunchy comedy style and frank language will not be disappointed by this hilarious take on a life well lived.
