Trailer Tuesday: ‘The Foremost Good Fortune’

Posted on 15 February 2011 by Eliza, Associate Editor

This week, my favorite book trailer highlights Susan Conley‘s memoir of moving her family to China—where besides the expected struggles of adapting to cultural differences, she finds out she has breast cancer. (I’m sensing a trend here in my memoir preferences; Alan Paul’s Big in China is also about a family moving to Beijing.)

Learn more about The Foremost Good Fortune in the video:

In BookPage, reviewer Henry L. Carrigan Jr. writes that this lovely memoir “powerfully reminds us that we draw our strength from the many little wonders of our everyday lives.” Are you inspired to pick up this book?
