Grace has struggled all her life with her place in this family and in the world. Obviously of Asian descent, she has been unable to get the truth about her parentage from her mother, a woman who is struggling with her own demons.

Grace has been the adult in this dysfunctional relationship, and now she is faced with the fact that the only rock in her uncertain world, her grandmother, may be fading into a senility of sorts. She is let down all around and teetering on the edge. Her only relief is her conversations with Bruce Lee and her lessons in his special karate style.

“So many valuable insights into the everyday lives of little people, people of Asian heritage and those suffering from PTSD. Another YA novel that deftly disentangles family relationships, from a novelist at the top of her powers.”
