The Magical Imperfect
Chris Baron
Etan has stopped speaking, and the people around him do not know how to help. Malia stays home because she is bullied constantly. During the 1989 earthquakes in the Bay Area, the two young people find friendship and hope in a community of immigrant refugees. Their experiences unfold in a world that has shunned them, as the community helps them discover healing from within. The story connects silence, bullying, friendship, and a shared moment of crisis.
