One morning hours, Deming Guo's mom, an undocumented Chinese language immigrant known as Polly, would go to her job at the nail salon rather than comes home. No one can find any trace of her. With his mother absent, 11-year-old Deming is kept with no one to look after him. He's eventually adopted by two white university professors who move him from the Bronx to a tiny town upstate. They rename him Daniel Wilkinson in their initiatives to make him over into their version of an "all-American boy". But a long way away from all he's ever before known, Daniel challenges to reconcile his new lease of life along with his mother's disappearance and the remembrances of the family and community he left out. Set in NY and China, The Leavers is a vibrant and moving study of borders and owed. It's the storyline of how one son comes into his own when everything he's enjoyed has been taken away - and how a mother learns to reside in with the flaws of her history.
