Set in a time when strict laws allow authorities to remove children from their homes if other family members are suspected of anti-American leanings, this novel follows 12-year-old Bird Gardner on a journey to find his mother, a Chinese American poet who abandoned the family several years before. Heartbreaking and suspenseful, this book contrasts the sacrifices some parents will make to protect their children against a government’s efforts to exert control in chaotic times.
