Description

Willa Chen, a biracial Chinese American woman raised between households and cultures, has spent her life feeling simultaneously visible and overlooked. When she becomes a nanny for a wealthy Manhattan family, her growing bond with their young daughter draws her into an unfamiliar world of privilege—and forces her to confront the loneliness, fractured family ties, and questions of identity she has long kept at a distance. As past and present begin to overlap, this poignant coming-of-age novel explores belonging, race, class, family, and the complicated ways people seek love and recognition. With emotional precision and quiet insight, it follows one young woman’s search for a life she can claim as her own.
