Honor Roll

Chen Fei was a street kid with a record; Zhao Ting was a wild girl no teacher could handle. Then their daughter, Chen Xiaoman, was born—and they dropped every bad habit, swallowed their pride, and worked themselves to the bone to shield her from the world they'd made. Xiaoman carries a strange gift: she can read people's true intentions and see misfortune coming, as if words were scrolling across the air in front of her. But gifts don't stop neighbors from whispering about her parents' past and their empty pockets. Held up by their unconditional love, she walks straight through the prejudice, uses her talent and grit to rise to the top of her class—and in doing so, rewrites her own life and clears her parents' names. A family that paid in full, finally gets to keep what they earned.
