In No, Really, Where Are You From? Nancy Ng tells the insightful true stories of how eight Chinese individuals, young and old and from various economic backgrounds, negotiated being a visible minority in mainstream Canada. With insight and inspiration, Ng writes of these remarkable people's experiences with their Chinese culture from childhood to adulthood. No, Really, Where Are You From? not only discusses the importance of global migration and its impact on ethnic identity; it also tells the stories of those who have first-hand experience of the issue. Ethnic identity retention and loss is never black and white... it is constantly reshaping and redefining itself.

In Bend It Like You: Personal Stories About Resiliency and Perseverance From People Just Like You, Nancy Ng shares the personal experiences of eight brave individuals who have gone through a unique hardship/experience or a particular difficult time in their life. They open up about how they got through it, or maybe are still going through it, and what words of wisdom can they share with others who are going through a tough time. Most importantly, how did they come through the adversity a stronger and more positive person, and help others who are struggling feel less alone.By writing this book and presenting these stories, not only will it be raising awareness of the important topics of mental health, mental illness and the stigmas associated to them, but hopefully, encourage those who are struggling to reach out for help from the numerous mental health agencies available in their community, and connect with others as well.
