Rather than attribute this loss of emotion to the autism, he instead considers himself defective and shuts himself off to romantic relationships. His mother then travels back to Vietnam to find him a mail-order bride. She meets Esme Tran, a mixed-race girl who thinks marrying an American man might be the only way to help her family. But as she attempts to teach Khai about the lessons of how to feel love, she feels her own feelings for the man growing, finally realizing that she's in love with a man who can't reciprocate.
