Bookroo's summary
Lily's world is turned upside down when her family moves back to Taiwan to care for her grandmother. Struggling with the loss of her familiar life, Lily must navigate a new culture and redefine her sense of belonging. As she grapples with her identity, will she discover that home is more than just a place? Join Lily on a journey of self-discovery and cultural connection, where family ties and new friendships might just help her find where she truly belongs.
From the publisher
A humorous and heartfelt reverse immigration story that will resonate across cultures and show us how a place can become home. This is not my backyard barbecue. This is not our car, these are not my fireflies. This is not my farmer’s market and… This is not my home. When Lily’s mom announces their family must move back to Taiwan to take care of her elderly Ah Ma, Lily is devastated to leave behind her whole life for a place that is most definitely not her home. But Lily soon realizes, through the help of her family and friends, what home means to them. And perhaps someday–maybe not today, but someday–it might become her home too.
