520    "Adela Frost wants to do something with her life. When a 
       chance encounter and a haunting dream steer her toward 
       distant Burma, she decides to spend the summer after high 
       school volunteering in a Buddhist monastery. Adela finds 
       fresh confidence as she immerses herself in her new 
       environment, teaching English to the monks and studying 
       meditation with the wise abbot. Then there's her secret 
       romance with Thiha, an ex-political prisoner with a 
       shadowy past. But when some of the monks express support 
       for the persecution of the country's Muslim minority, 
       Adela glimpses the turmoil that lies beneath Burma's 
       tranquil surface. While investigating the country's 
       complex history, she becomes determined to help stop 
       communal violence. With Thiha's assistance, she concocts a
       scheme that quickly spirals out of control. Adela must 
       decide whether to back down or double down, while 
       protecting those she cares about from the backlash of 
       Buddhist and Muslim extremists. Set against the backdrop 
       of Burma's fractured transition to democracy, this coming-
       of-age story weaves critiques of voluntourism and 
       humanitarian intervention into a young woman's quest for 
       connection across cultural boundaries."--Provided by 
       publisher.
