Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 I was dressed up to go out with my brother, Alexander, to Chinatown with our father, Peter Papi Wong. Our father was coming to pick us up from our apartment in Morningside Heights, which was then Harlem. #2 I remember my father, Peter Wong, very clearly. He was Chinese, and he had two dark-looking children who looked like they could be Asian. But they looked more like Black and white siblings to each other. #3 Peter’s grandfather, who married my mother, had 14 or more years in the United States before she was born. He had married her sister Maria to a Chinese man because the Chinese were the closest thing to a white man. #4 My aunt’s husband, Peter Wong, brought another thing that elevated my mother and her children’s standing: immigration status. He bought it by paying off two Chinese hustlers with green cards to marry his daughters.

An immigrant mother’s long-held secrets upend her daughter’s understanding of her family, her identity, and her place in the world in this powerful and dramatic memoir “Riveting . . . [Wong] tells her story in vivid conversational prose that will make readers feel they’re listening to a master storyteller on a long car trip. . . . Hers is a hero’s journey.”—The New York Times Book Review ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR: PopSugar, Kirkus Reviews My mother carried a powerful secret. A secret that shaped my life and the lives of everyone around me in ways she could not have imagined. Carmen Rita Wong has always craved a sense of belonging: First as a toddler in a warm room full of Black and brown Latina women, like her mother, Lupe, cheering her dancing during her childhood in Harlem. And in Chinatown, where her immigrant father, “Papi” Wong, a hustler, would show her and her older brother off in opulent restaurants decorated in red and gold. Then came the almost exclusively white playgrounds of New Hampshire after her mother married her stepfather, Marty, who seemed to be the ideal of the white American dad. As Carmen entered this new world with her new family—Lupe and Marty quickly had four more children—her relationship with her mother became fraught with tension, suspicion, and conflict, explained only years later by the secrets her mother had kept for so long. And when those secrets were revealed, bringing clarity to so much of Carmen’s life, it was too late for answers. When her mother passed away, Carmen wanted to shake her soul by its shoulders and demand: Why didn’t you tell me? A former national television host, advice columnist, and professor, Carmen searches to understand who she really is as she discovers her mother’s hidden history, facing the revelations that seep out. Why Didn’t You Tell Me? is a riveting and poignant story of Carmen’s experience of race and culture in America and how they shape who we think we are.
