SEEING EMILY: a novel in free verse, speaks directly of the heady, messy experience of being a teenager. Emily, a Chinese-American teen, tries out different versions of herself as she pursues her growing passion for art, her interest in a sexy new student, and her need to break away without breaking her tightly-knit family apart.
