The feeling of being in-between cultures, in-between spaces, done so from an eleven-year-old Filipino-American girl's perspective. That is the age when you start realizing the world is so massive and scary. When you're slowly transitioning into a teenager, almost a grown up. When towering adults' words can forever leave a mark on you, bringing it to your adulthood.
