Told through the eyes of a young Vietnamese girl, this non-linear narrative is the tale of a family's desperate struggle to adjust to the alien culture of San Diego. Like her protagonist, Le and her father left Vietnam in 1979 by boat, ending up in Southern California. The author is currently a Radcliffe Fellow in Massachusetts. This is her first novel.
