Another way to look at your book would be that yours is a unique American story. Believe me, those of us with third and fourth generation nationalities feel more displaced than you can imagine. We may be American but we also have ancestors that we never really knew except a grandparent or a culture that we never experienced. You have the best of both worlds. It is what the American story is truly all about so just keep telling it.
There is a time for everything as long as there is faith behind it and hope. You have that in your book. Are you Ukrainian enough? You were born and raised there and you are first generation newly US citizenship to the US so why would you feel you are anything less. Claim your identity and hold on to it. We are going into third and fourth generation of our nationalities in the US. You have not truly been assimilated as you have held on to where you were born and your traditions. The way you are putting your story together is unique for you and it's important. Persevere.
Thank you, Victoria! I would love to write a cookbook documenting my experience and food growing up as a child of immigrants.
There’s a rise in first-gen cookbooks, which is incredibly exciting and hopeful. Offering a more diverse and inclusive narrative of American food. There’s a cookbook coming out soon from a Hungarian-American chef Jeremy Salamon, where they share the food they grew up with often with their own modern twist.

Very interesting!! Oral history is essential in all good writing.
