About the Title

The memoir portrays the loneliness and identity struggles Sarah faces due to racism and bullying, which are exacerbated by their lack of connection to their birth parents23. Through art, anime, and cosplay, Sarah finds a means of self-expression and escape, though they still grapple with feelings of being an outsider.
