What''s more, her grandma has pulled Ri away from the community where they once belonged. In its place, Ri has grown up trying to fit in among her best friend''s world of mansions and country clubs in an attempt try to live out her grandmother''s version of the "American Dream." In her heart, Ri has always believed that her mother, who disappeared when Ri was young, would accept her exactly how she is and not try to turn her into someone she''s never wanted to be. So when Ri finds a long-hidden letter from her mom begging for a visit, she decides to reclaim what Grandma kept from her: her heritage and her mom. But nothing goes as planned. Her mom isn''t who Ri imagined she would be and finding her doesn''t make Ri''s struggle to navigate the interweaving threads of her mixed heritage any less complicated.
