for, many, many years I didn't know anything about her life, about the abusive marriage and the children she had lost. I was a speech and language specialist, just as Pearl was. In a 1991 interview with Katie Couric, for NBC, Tan described her connection to Pearl: The Kitchen God's Wife's story mirrors Tan's own: the tale of Pearl, the California-born daughter of Winnie, a Chinese immigrant who fled to America to escape an abusive traditional marriage and the turmoil of war. Much of Tan's work draws on the lives of her family and her work is often considered to be to some extent autobiographical.
She has described her childhood as difficult and found it hard to fit in, not feeling she conformed to either ethnic identity. Amy Tan was born in Oakland, California, to Chinese immigrant parents.
