Although Mom says to "find another dream," a talented young girl refuses to stop writing. In this collection of poems, she reflects on her multicultural neighborhood and friends, Mom’s drinking, Dad’s unreliability, Grandma’s assumptions, and her own hopes for the future. One day, the girl knows, her mother will shout, "My daughter, the Writer."
