*
Sarah has always struggled to fit in. Born in South Korea and adopted at
birth by a white couple, she grows up in a rural community with few
Asian neighbors. People whisper in the supermarket. Classmates bully
her. She has trouble containing her anger in these moments--but through
it all, she has her art. She's always been a compulsive drawer, and when
she discovers anime, her hobby becomes an obsession.
Though drawing and cosplay offer her an escape, she still struggles to
connect with others. And in high school, the bullies are louder and
meaner. Sarah's bubbling rage is threatening to burst.
