These stories take us into the turbulent lives of Asian-Canadian teenagers. We are drawn into their struggles to balance their parents’ expectations against the pull of today’s urban youth culture. Yee gives us a vivid snapshot of the tensions which arise from the immigration experience as he explores its profound impact upon the lives of young people.
