Immediately after high school graduation, eighteen-year-old Maya is kicked out of her wealthy dad's NYC home; he prides himself on forcing his kids to "make their own way in the world." Maya's mom lives in Guatemala, so Maya crashes with friends while working and trying to land freelance writing gigs.

Maya struggles to find her footing until she gets access to a "writing room," a shared workspace where she can focus--and get to know the intriguing neighbor, Jake, who's often there.

When she discovers her dad is bankrolling a virulently anti-immigrant candidate for governor, Maya―the daughter of an immigrant―realizes she can't continue quietly accepting his choices. She'll have to take a stand, using the voice she's found in the writing room.
