The short girls in this novel are Van and Linny Luong, sisters who have grown apart and as young women are struggling to create satisfying careers and relationships for themselves. With its themes of sibling rivalry, family conflict, and immigrant experience, this is a story that will have wide appeal. Alice Kennedy's enunciation is always clear, although her pauses between sentences and paragraphs are occasionally too short, forcing the listener to make quick mental leaps. Her even tone comes across as expressionless at times, but this becomes less noticeable as the story moves along. Further, Kennedy's low-key delivery makes the occasional moment of humor (usually involving Van and Linny's dad) stand out all the more.
