一个小女孩第一次去美国的学校上学，打扮得漂漂亮亮，没想到招来老师和同学异样的目光；被美国人邀请去家里吃饭，却发现居然要自己带看做的菜过去；精心为朋友准备了生日礼物，可是却被对方拒绝。这一切到底是为什么呢？如果想知道原因的话，就请你打开这本《英语背后的故事——Ovr Own Stories》吧。 本书精选20篇在美国生活的外国移民学生的习作，讲述了他们在成长过程中曾经发生过的一些故事，有误会，有尴尬，还有几分淡然的无奈。也许文笔有些略显稚嫩，但正是那份青涩的感觉让人读起来不仅趣味盎然，而且很容易让有类似背景和经历的人产生共鸣，堪称青春版的《喜福会》。对生活在大洋另一端的中国学生来说也同样具有很好的借鉴意义。
