Description:
<p><em>When nineteen-year-old Aki throws her first punch, the respectable ‘good girl’ discovers she’s a fighter. </em></p>
<p>Good girl, good student, good daughter: Aki has always done what her loving but demanding multiracial family expects. Far from her Vancouver home, she adjusts to life in London—studies, friends and a relationship with a wealthy but closeted Asian woman. Life is demanding, but Aki is coping until a violent incident triggers an unexpected response in the young Japanese-Latina woman. She discovers that brutal bar-fighting relieves her stress and she begins a dangerous dual existence—obedient and accommodating by day and brawling by night.</p>
<p>This is a novel about the need to reconcile competing cultures, traditions and values that also explores issues of sexual identity and violence.</p>
