Synopsis

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 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?

All the Tomorrows After

1.

When I was five, my halmoni taught me how to make origami cranes. I watched the paper squares transform into proud creatures, each intricate fold hidden from view. Peacock blue, marigold yellow, inky violet peppered with stars.

Sometimes I think of those cranes. How existence can sprout from nothing. How I’ve mastered the art of folding into myself, pleat by tiny pleat. How I wait, yet, for the majestic to unfurl.

Sometimes I head up to the roof and peer over the crumbling wall, six stories to the ground. The thrill of falling, without the fall. My body both drained and energized, quaking with the reminder of being alive.

The view over this side of Sierra Park isn’t great. A grid of worn-out homes and strip malls, lawns yellowing from too much California sun. But it’s about the possibilities—the prospect of escape, the idea that I’ll become fully realized once I’m gone.

I subsist on it, that burrowing want. For emergence. A budding. A release.

I wait. And I wait.
