“Judy Tsuei’s Black Sheep Rising is not just a how-to guide to disappoint Asian parents. This heart-warming, gut-wrenching memoir also shows how to break generational trauma, heal families, and set up future generations for success. I laughed, cried, and snorted as I saw parts of my own Caucasian family reflected in the story. I highly recommend this book for all readers.”

–Kim Orendor, Next Generation Indie Book Awards-winning author

“As an Asian American woman, so much of this book hit home and made me feel less alone in a childhood shaped by high expectations and the pressure to make our parents proud. It puts words to the generational expectations we carry, often without even realizing it, and the tension between who you were raised to be and who you’re trying to become. It’s a powerful reflection on honoring where you come from without letting it define where you’re going, and having the courage to build a life that truly feels like your own.”
–Ivy Colbert

“Jude writes with the kind of honesty that is rare and brave. Black Sheep Rising is a gift to anyone who has ever needed a reminder that transformation is possible at any stage of life.”
–Maria Clara Palacios

“When you’re reading/listening to your childhood experiences on the pages/in the audiobook and realize... someone else lived it too.”
