Our Missing Hearts

 Fiction by Celeste Ng

What if America's economic crisis got really bad, and then it got worse? And then what if it got even worse, to the point where things were even more difficult than in the Great Depression? And THEN what if the US government chose to blame the whole thing on China, and lawfully declared everything Asian to be un-patriotic? 

I labeled this story both "futuristic" and "contemporary" fiction, because it's kind of both. I liked the characters and the plot, but it was a sad world for them to live in. It was hard to read.

I also read recently by this author: Little Fires Everywhere
