The novel draws upon Vuong`s real-life experiences in the service industry, as well as elder care. In writing it, Vuong specifically pushed back against the idea of writing a model minority narrative of rags to riches: `As I grew up in my family and my community, the most common thing—the best scenario—was someone works the same job for 30 years, drives the same car, lives in the same apartment. That`s not failure. That`s a decent life.`[4]
