With a new sister on the way, Priscilla “Cilla” Lee-Jenkins needs to write her memoir, fast. Cilla, a future author extraordinaire, is destined for greatness, while her new sibling, “The Blob,” is sure to be boring. Once this memoir is published, and Cilla is a bestselling author, her family surely will not forget about her, even after the baby is born. Besides, Cilla’s family is fine as it is: just her, Mom, and Dad, with visits to Grandma and Grandpa Jenkins on Saturdays and trips to Nai Nai and Yeye’s in Chinatown on Wednesdays. As Cilla reflects on all eight and a half years of her life, she discovers that looking back on the past might just help shape new family traditions for the future.
