New York Chinatown, 1982
Amid the relentless hum of sewing machines and a silence that has endured for far too long, an ordinary Chinese garment worker begins to question the course of her life.
As a historic labor strike quietly gathers momentum across Chinatown, she finds herself drawn into a movement that will challenge everything she once believed about survival, dignity, and belonging.
Inspired by true events, The Stilled, The Unleashed is a story of labor, womanhood, immigration, and awakening. It sheds light on lives long overlooked by history, and on how, in the face of fear and silence, ordinary people gradually reclaim their voices.

In this intimate collection of essays and short memoirs, author Amber Z. Wong returns to the people, places, and moments that shaped her early life.
Set against the backdrop of a small Chinese city, these stories recall childhood summers beneath locust trees, old neighborhoods now vanished, family gatherings, school days, chance encounters, and the quiet emotions that linger long after the years have passed.
Written with warmth, humor, and reflection, When Stories Drifted In is a gathering of memories carried by time, much like familiar scents carried by the wind. Some stories are joyful, some bittersweet, and some unexpectedly funny, but together they form a portrait of ordinary lives and the enduring connections that define them.
A book about remembering, belonging, and the stories that find us when we least expect them.
