The thought of mixing her two cousins makes Vicki Phaff nervous. Joey is a Phaff and Su-hui is a Wei. They each came from a different part of her dual heritage. Shehas always been able to keep these two worlds separate. When she is in Taiwan, she acts Chinese. In America, she is the all-American girl. With Su-hui coming for the vacation they had talked so much about and Joey coming to make sure they speak English, Vicki finds herself balancing between two cultures. The only solace she has is her best friend Anna, whose parents emigrated from Italy. Anna understands Vicki’s balancing act because she does it herself. Can Vicki balance for two weeks or will her dream vacation come crashing down?
