Sent to Los Angeles so that her child will have American birthright citizenship, Scarlett Chen runs from her assigned maternity home when she learns that her lover's longed-for son will in fact be a daughter. How she makes her way in a strange country with not much more than determination and the questionable help of another runaway mother-to-be, forms the backbone of this charming tale of perseverance, grit, and -- eventually -- forgiveness.
