"Lia and her family are waiting to board a flight to their new life in Canada, leaving behind family, friends, and Romania -- the only home Lia has ever known. But Lia's heartache is overshadowed by a grumbling pain in her stomach that she's never felt before. When she excuses herself to the bathroom, she's shocked by what she discovers: her first period. As if things weren't difficult enough! 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 schoolwork, has trouble communicating with classmates, and has no idea how to manage her unpleasant periods. Will she ever feel like herself again?"--
