 The parents open up a Chinese restaurant, and that's where Jane and her brother grow up. Sadly, her father has a gambling addiction, so every family trip to Atlantic City is really fraught. The kids don't really know what's going on, of course, but their family is really negatively affected by this gambling addiction. And then a lot of the memoir is also about how Jane came to writing. It's really about how she found her voice as a writer and an artist.
