Description
At thirteen, Sundara fled Cambodia with her aunt’s family to escape the violence of the Khmer Rouge, leaving behind her parents, siblings, and the boy she had loved since childhood.
Now, four years later, she is trying to navigate life at her Oregon high school while honoring her family’s expectations at home. Being “a good Cambodian girl” means following tradition, avoiding dating, and waiting for an arranged marriage. But when Sundara meets Jonathan, a kind and thoughtful American classmate, their growing connection challenges everything she has been taught.
Torn between two cultures and haunted by memories of the past, Sundara struggles to reconcile her grief with her hopes for the future. Can she find happiness in a new country without feeling like she is betraying the life she left behind?
This moving and compassionate novel explores identity, cultural expectations, and the search for belonging in a new world.
