Description
Twenty-two-year-old Charlie Wong has always lived between worlds: devoted to her traditional Chinatown family yet quietly longing for a life beyond the family noodle business. When an unexpected job introduces her to the glittering world of ballroom dancing, Charlie discovers a talent—and a sense of freedom—that challenges everything she thought she knew about herself. As she balances cultural expectations, family loyalty, friendship, and first love, she must find the courage to define her own future. Warm, witty, and emotionally resonant, this novel explores identity, belonging, and the transformative power of embracing one’s passions.
