Gwen was 10 when she arrived to California from China, the hopes of her entire family on her shoulders. But her dream collapsed in college as she discovered that her grandmother, mother and her all grappled with Borderline Personality Disorder. If she was truly going to take care of her family, she would have to forge an entirely new understanding.
