Jenny Xie’s debut novel Holding Pattern was published in 2023. The book follows a young Chinese American woman who returns to her mother’s home in the San Gabriel Valley, where she confronts questions about her relationship with her mother, her cultural identity, and her own sense of direction.
Xie is also known as a poet, and her prose style reflects that background. Holding Pattern is her first novel, bringing her literary sensibility to a story about family dynamics within the Chinese American immigrant experience.
