“The Downstairs Girl by [Stacey Lee] is clever, poignant and funny,” Witherspoon said of the novel, which is also an Amazon Teachers’ Pick. “It’s a bold portrait about a young Chinese-American woman named Jo who is faced with adversity and the realities of intersectionality in her community. As an anonymous writer in a local newspaper, this young woman is able to use her voice for greater good,” the actress writes of the book.
