Mina seems like the perfect daughter. Straight A student. Bound for Harvard. Helps out at her familyβs dry cleaning store. Takes care of her hearing-impaired little sister. She is her parentsβ pride and joy. From the outside, Mina is doing everything right. On the inside, Mina knows the truth. Her perfect-daughter life is a lie. And it isnβt until she meets someone to whom she cannot lie that sheβs willing to consider what the truth might mean, and what it will cost. Because Ysrael, the young migrant worker who dreams of becoming a musician and who comes to work for her family, asks Mina the one question that scares her the most: What does she actually want?
