Love, Love
Victoria Chang
Frances is eleven and lives in Detroit alongside Clara, her older sister, and their Chinese-immigrant parents. White bullies make Frances miserable at school, while she and her Chinese American friend Annie spend afternoons hitting a tennis ball together. Clara’s unexplained hair loss leads to a wig that is stolen at school; Frances and Annie suspect the thief but cannot get it back. A coach invites Frances to train with a tennis team, and she grows more confident. Frances later learns from Clara’s diary that Clara has been pulling out her own hair, a psychiatric condition explained in an author’s note.
