Trying to hold on to the evaporating past, she begins to write down all that she can remember of her life as a girl in China. Meanwhile, her daughter Ruth, a ghostwriter for authors of self-help books, is losing the ability to speak up for herself in front of the man she lives with.

In turn, Ruth has begun to suspect that something is wrong with her mother: she says so many confusing and contradictory things.
