“What I feel most days is that nothing is ever going to change. That my life won't even start, & that I'll be stuck like this forever.”

Wen Zhou is the daughter & only child of Chinese immigrants whose move to the lucky country has proven to be not so lucky. Wen & her friend, Henry Xiao - whose mum & dad are also struggling immigrants - both dream of escape from their unhappy circumstances & form a plan to sit an entrance exam to a selective high school far from home. But when tragedy strikes, it will take all of Wen's resilience & resourcefulness to get herself & Henry through the storm that follows.
