Lily, a Chinese American high school girl living in San Francisco’s Chinatown in the 1950s, falls in love with her Caucasian classmate, Kath. The novel sensitively and realistically explores Lily’s struggles as a lesbian woman of color coming of age during a time of strict social mores and rampant prejudice, even within her own family.
