Debbie Chinn's 'Dancing in Their Light: A Daughter's Unfinished Memoir'

Debbie Chinn's primary professional and volunteer career focus on philanthropic work—to heal our society and bridge our cultural differences—was seeded via a 13-generation saga across continents.

Dancing in Their Light: A Daughter's Unfinished Memoir  is a biographical conversation program exploring the research that bought forth her family’s experiences assimilating in the United States. It is a specifically Chinese American immigration compilation that skillfully weaves together stories of the Chinn family restaurant, "The House of Mah Jong," and the distinct personality of  a golden age of Polynesian floor shows ubiquitous in the 1960s on Long Island.
