Books Our missing hearts

Plot Summary: Our Missing Hearts by Celeste Ng tells the story of twelve-year-old Bird Gardner, who lives in a society governed by laws designed to preserve "American culture" and prevent dissent. His Chinese American poet mother, Margaret, vanished years earlier after her work was deemed subversive, and Bird has grown up without her, knowing it's safer not to question her absence. When Bird receives a mysterious letter with a cryptic drawing, he embarks on a quest to find his mother, navigating an underground network of librarians and confronting the truth about her disappearance and the power of art in a repressive society.
