Monica grew up in a big, inseparable, devoutly Christian Chinese-Indonesian family, for whom togetherness was perceived as happiness. Moving away from home as an adult, Monica finds love and acceptance in their new, chosen family. But when their inner child shows up in therapy, Monica is challenged by the complicated reality of simultaneously feeling the saddest and happiest they have ever been.
