Fiction. Asian American Studies. On the inside, Miramar Woo is a kick-ass kung fu heroine with rock star flash, sassy attitude, and an insatiable appetite for adventure, but she is forced to watch helplessly as her family unravels in the aftermath of her father's unexpected death. Her younger siblings suddenly and mysteriously become savants, in possession of uncanny talents nicknamed The Gifts. As her siblings are swept up into the fantastic world of fame and fortune and her mother fights off madness, Miramar is left behind, feeling talentless and abandoned with no idea who she really is or who she wants to become. She is utterly on her own.
