At Full Brightness: A Novel

This shall pass, and you'll come out of the darkness to shine at full brightness, because that's who you are. When Mai Tran was born premature, and diagnosed with cerebral palsy at age one, it was obvious she was a fighter. She fought to live, to walk, and to prove she could be all she wanted to be...and more. The youngest daughter in a Vietnamese American family, Mai is weighed down by the expectations of culture and family, and is pushed toward a life path she does not want. Faced with self-doubt, a tumultuous relationship with her mother, and uncertainty about her future, Mai begins a journey of self-discovery and healing. She learns the importance of her own mental wellness, the value of self-love, and the power of forgiveness, while fighting for the future she wants. At Full Brightness explores the intersection of family relationships, mental health, disability, and spirituality. Mai's story will speak to young Asian Americans, people of color, and the disabled community who may also struggle with similar issues.
