Told from the point of view of a 10-year-old girl, this novel in verse follows a Vietnamese family as they travel from war-torn Vietnam to Alabama, USA. The choice to leave is not a simple one, and their journey is full of struggle, fear, and heartache. Even once they arrive in the United States, their challenge to fit in and start over tests their resolve.
