Award winning author

A compelling young adult story about growing up in a migrant Asian family with a mother who is suffering from a mental illness, which was shortlisted for the Prime Minister's Literary Awards.

Anna Chiu has her hands full looking after her siblings and helping out at her dad’s restaurant, all while her mum stays in bed. The new delivery boy Rory is a welcome distraction and even though things aren’t right at home, Anna’s starting to feel like she could just be a normal teen. But when Mum finally gets out of bed, things go from bad to worse. And as Mum’s condition worsens, Anna and her family question everything they understand about themselves and each other.

'Heart-wrenching … The novel provides an insightful look at the powerful role food plays in our emotional lives.'
The New York Times Book Review

'Gritty details lend depth to this viscerally powerful tale of a teen struggling to help her troubled family.'
Kirkus Reviews

'The stoic resilience of the Chiu family is inspiring.'
Alice Pung, author of Unpolished Gem
