Two sisters moved at a very young age from China to America with just their mother and through hard work and grit they found the American dream. Miranda is the older sister and when their mother passed away she became the protector of her sister, Lucia. Neither sister remembers their fathers death, but it greatly impacted their lives. When Lucia starts battling mental illness, Miranda basically puts her life on hold to put her sister and their family first.
This book was completely about the sister relationship and how unique it is. These sisters must really rely on each other without any extended family around; they must keep each other close in the good and bad times. Yes, there was definitely some interesting cultural things because these women are Chinese-American, but that was just a minor compared to the major dissection of the sister relationship that this book did.
