The story follows CJ Katsuyama, a Japanese American teenager who struggles with feelings of failure and disconnection from her family’s expectations. Her family owns a flower shop, but CJ has little interest in taking responsibility for it—especially because of a painful history tied to her grandparents, who lost their business after being forced into Japanese American internment camps during World War II. When the shop is at risk of being sold to the family of a former friend, CJ decides to step up and fight to save it. Through this journey, she begins to understand her family’s past, confronts issues of racism and loyalty, and learns the value of perseverance and self-worth. The novel highlights themes of resilience, cultural identity, and standing up for what matters.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 data-section-id=\"cw8h4a\" data-start=\"1011\" data-end=\"1076\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1014\" data-end=\"1074\"\u003eAbout the Author – \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1077\" data-end=\"1659\" data-is-last-node=\"\" data-is-only-node=\"\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"hover:entity-accent entity-underline inline cursor-pointer align-baseline\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"whitespace-normal\"\u003eMisa Sugiura\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e is an American writer known for her engaging young adult novels that often explore themes of identity, diversity, and social issues.
