About The Book
A captivating, heartrending novel about a Korean American teen navigating grief and first love who agrees to accept money from her estranged father in exchange for letting him get to know her—for fans of Nina LaCour, Kathleen Glasgow, and All My Rage.
Each night, Winter Moon counts her earnings dreaming of escape. Once she’s saved enough, she and her grandmother can finally take flight and disappear. But when her spiteful mother steals her money and blows through it all in one day, Winter is forced to turn to her estranged father, who recently reappeared in her life after being absent for more than a decade. They agree upon a simple contract: she spends time with him in exchange for payment.
It’s not easy reconciling the past and the present, though, and when she’s struck with a sudden loss, Winter flounders in grief and rage. The only person offering a hand is Joon, the new boy at school who sees Winter when no one else does.
When Winter discovers a secret her father has been keeping from her, things get even more complicated. As she navigates grief, first love, and forgiveness, Winter begins to forge connections, new and old, that make her question everything: her future, her conviction to disappear, and what it really means to be family. Winter knows that broken things can never be fixed, but can they come back together in a different way?

Why We Love It
“Joanne Yi’s lyrical prose is just beautiful and so engaging, and reading this for the first time made me ugly-cry in public. Yes, the story is sad in parts, but as a character in the novel says, ‘Oh, but that twinge in my chest. All that feeling, springing forth. Isn’t it beautiful, just to feel?’ And that’s how I feel about this novel: it made me feel so much in the best and most beautiful kind of ways, and I felt catharsis and ultimately hope as Winter grows throughout the story and experiences love and hope for the first time.”
