Summary:
"The path to the future starts in the past. Guangdong, 1954. Sixteen-year-old Mei Laan longs for a future of freedom, and her beauty may be the key to getting it. Could an arranged marriage in Hong Kong be the answer to all her problems? Hong Kong, 1972. Sixteen-year-old Lydia wants nothing more than to dance and to gain approval from her mother, who is largely absent and sharply critical, especially about Lydia's looks. Maybe her way to happiness is starting over in Toronto? Toronto, 2000. Sixteen-year-old Roz is grappling with who she wants to be in the world. The only thing she is certain of is that if she were thinner, things would be better. How can she start living her life, instead of just photographing it? When Roz's estranged por por abruptly arrives for a seemingly indefinite visit, three generations are now under one roof. Delicate relationships are suddenly upended, and long-suppressed family secrets begin to surface." -- Back cover
