Mai can't wait for summer break from being perfect. But all that her straight A's have gotten her is to Vietnam - a foreign country that she's never been to. Her parents want Mai to learn more about her roots and help her grandmother find out what happened to her grandfather in the Vietnam War. Mai will soon learn that home is not on a map: it's made up of the people she loves.
