After immigrating from China to New York City, a teenage girl and her family struggle to adjust to the new world they've found themselves in.
Yixuan Liu, a 16-year-old Chinese girl, just moved from China to America with her family. To try to fit in to a new school, a new city, and a new culture, Yixuan chooses an English name, Emma.
As she works to succeed in school and make friends, Yixuan/Emma is confused by the anti-Asian and anti-Black racism she hears from her teachers and her friends. She must learn to be herself and stop striving to please everyone else in order to make sense of it all.
Balancing chaotic school life with divorcing parents, her sister's mental illness, and a new crush, Emma must ask herself, "How do I know who I really am?"
