From the back cover

Emma Lin has handed over most of her salary to her family for ten years, saving every spare penny toward a down payment and her own wedding to Lucas. When she checks her passbook, she finds only $3.28 left: $42,000 and $8,600 have been transferred out without her permission.

Her mother Susan Lee and father David Lin admit the money went toward a $68,800 dowry for her cousin Jessica Zhao, who is marrying next month. For Emma's own June 18th wedding, they have prepared only two pairs of slippers, two sets of pajamas, and towels.

Emma demands the money back or threatens to call the police and expose them, then packs and leaves, cutting ties with the family that chose Jessica over her.
