"A young Chinese-American girl is raised by a mother who wants for her daughter all the things she wanted for herself but sacrificed to her marriage and children, and a father who wants her to be normal, to fit in in ways that he feels he never did. Driven to achieve academically beyond her abilities, and by her father's intense desires that she be popular, she feels trapped. Only her love for her brother keeps her afloat, but he will soon leave for college. Themes of racism and feminism weave through this heartbreaking novel."
  • ​Do we thrive as individuals or as a community? Well Read Red Clayton Morgareidge asks "Is our vision of a good society one in which everyone depends only on themselves for their welfare, or is it a world where we all look out for and care about each other’s needs? Which kind of world do we want to raise our children to live in?"
