Grace and her mother bring Grace's grandmother's ashes home to the large Cambodian American community in St. Petersburg, Florida, for a traditional funeral. Grace's first real immersion into Cambodian culture brings up questions about the past--her own, her mother's, and her grandmother's. Replete with Cambodian historical and religious details, this thoughtful coming-of-age story is grounded in family and tradition.
