Nineteen-year-old Na has always lived in the shadow of her younger brother, Bao-bao, her parents' cherished son. Years ago, Na's parents left her in the countryside and went to work in the city, bringing Bao-bao along and committing everything, including all their savings, to his education. But when Bao-bao dies suddenly, Na realizes how little she knew him. Did he really end his life because of a low score on China's all-important college entrance exam? Her parents can't bear to talk about him, so Na investigates on her own. She learns that Bao-bao had many secrets—and that his death may not be what it seems. She also learns that her parents have serious money problems, and as their only remaining child, she's expected to quit school and go to work to help support them. As more secrets come to light, Na must decide not only what she owes to her brother's memory, but what she owes to herself. Young Adult Literature. Young Adult Fiction. 4. Media Type: eBook.
