Description
Goodbye, old life...
Lia and her family are waiting to board a flight to Montreal. They'll be crossing the Atlantic, leaving behind their family, their friends, and Romania, the only home Lia has ever known. But Lia's grief is overshadowed by the discomfort of her first period. As if things weren't difficult enough! Now, Lia is thrust into a world where everything is different: her home, her language, and even her body. With so many changes happening at once, Lia struggles with homework and communicating with her classmates, and has no idea how to cope with her painful periods. Will she ever feel like herself again?
Inspired by the author's immigration experience, The Short Story is a comical and charming story about change and acceptance.
