"Adopted as a toddler by an American couple, Lily Firestone is the only Asian student in her Kansas City high school. It’s 1951 and, with the Korean War raging, she has become a target for prejudice disguised as patriotism. When her younger brother discovers a box of Chinese artifacts, Lily’s once-faded memories are jolted as she attempts to unravel the mystery of her “Gone Mom.” Her search for the answers leads to more questions, yet Lily persists, unable to rest until she knows the truth, however painful it may be. This gripping novel is for anyone who has ever felt out of place."
