Isabella McMillan is young, beautiful, and smart. A much-loved daughter with her future mapped out and secure. She knows what is expected of her - Melbourne in 1956 has a box just the right shape for a Chinese-Australian lawyer-to-be. And yet ... When she meets a university lecturer named Alexander, he seems to offer her freedom from the claustrophobic privilege of her life and convinces her to come away with him.

There at a rundown boarding house, she finds unexpected things: warmth, friendship, the means to support herself - and the strength to not only face her past, but to start again.
