"All I want is to feel invincible and whole again." After Syrah Cheng's snowboarding accident, her knee isn't the only thing that's shot-so is her confidence. On top of that, Syrah's billionaire parents want her to follow in their footsteps, a path of discipline focused on global business that doesn't allow for silly and dangerous pastimes. As her lifelong nanny leaves and her best friend grows distant, Syrah wonders if she'll ever get back on the board-and if she'll ever be more than just "Ethan Cheng's daughter."

Her busy parents never have any time for her, her overachieving half-siblings hate her, and her best friend’s jealous girlfriend is ruining their friendship. Most people, like the flashy snowboard camp counselor who recently broke her heart, only want to use her to gain access to her father. Worst of all, Syrah is having a hard time recovering from a near-fatal snowboarding accident that severely damaged her knee, destroyed her self-confidence, and shattered her dreams of becoming a profession rider. Syrah must rehabilitate not only her body, but also her heart, as she struggles to find her place in the world and in her family. Topics Snowboarding. Chinese Americans. Cultures. Families. Siblings.
