Description
Mia Tang is growing up at the front desk of a struggling motel, where every day brings new guests, quiet rules, and the constant pressure of keeping her family’s life from unraveling. As she balances school, responsibility, and the secrets her parents must protect, Mia discovers that small acts of courage and compassion can change the course of a whole community. Told with warmth and immediacy, this coming-of-age story follows Mia’s determination to be heard and to write her way toward a future she can claim. Through themes of immigration, identity, class, and moral courage, the novel captures how resilience is built—one choice at a time—when the stakes are personal and the world feels unfair.
