A spunky young girl forms an unlikely friendship with a dying Chinese man while living in a group home
For Greta, having light and carefree Hackey hanging around her mom is a lot more fun than having an ordinary dad. But Hackey isn’t her father—he’s more like a pimp, and no matter how friendly he is, he still treats Greta’s mom like dirt. When the situation at home goes from bad to worse, sixteen-year-old Greta is moved into a home for at-risk children where she meets some of the most interesting girls she has ever known—and a shy young boy named Wing. Here, Greta gains new understanding of herself and her mother through her friendship with this Chinese-American boy and his strict, aged grandfather.
