About this listen

Anna Chiu has her hands full looking after her siblings and helping out at her dad’s restaurant, all while her mum stays in bed. The new delivery boy Rory is a welcome distraction and even though things aren’t right at home, Anna’s starting to feel like she could just be a normal teen.

But when Mum finally gets out of bed, things go from bad to worse. And as Mum’s condition worsens, Anna and her family question everything they understand about themselves and each other.
