**About the Book**
A humorous and heartfelt reverse immigration story that will resonate across cultures and show us how a place can become home.

"This is not my backyard barbecue.
This is not our car, these are not my fireflies.
This is not my farmer' s market and...
This is not my home."

When Lily's mom announces their family must move back to Taiwan to take care of her elderly Ah Ma, Lily is devastated to leave behind her whole life for a place that is most definitely not her home. But Lily soon realizes, through the help of her family and friends, what home means to them. And perhaps someday--maybe not today, but someday--it might become her home too.
