About this listen

The groundbreaking Own Voices classic by celebrated author Marie Myung-Ok Lee.

Seventeen-year-old Ellen Sung just wants to be like everyone else at her all-White school. But hers is the only Korean American family in town, and her classmates in Arkin, Minnesota, will never let her forget that she’s different. At the start of senior year, Ellen finds herself falling for Tomper Sandel, a football player who is popular and blond and undeniably cute...and to her surprise, he falls for her, too. Now, Ellen has a chance at life she never imagined, one that defies the expectations of both her core friend group and her strict parents. But even as she stands up to racism at school and disapproval at home, all while pursuing a romance with Tomper, Ellen discovers that her greatest challenge is one she never expected: finding the courage to speak up and raise her voice.
