ABOUT THE ORIGINAL BOOK

"The Downstairs Girl" by Stacey Lee, set in 1890 Atlanta, tells the story of Jo Kuan, a seventeen-year-old Chinese American girl who leads a double life. By day, she works as a lady’s maid, and by night, she anonymously authors an advice column. Using the pseudonym Miss Sweetie, she addresses social issues and challenges societal norms, giving a voice to the marginalized.

As Jo navigates the complexities of race, class, and identity, she finds herself embroiled in secrets and confronts prejudices. The story explores themes of social justice, finding one's voice, and the struggle for equality in a society marked by inequality and shifting alliances. Jo's journey leads her to embrace her own identity and use her voice to advocate for change.
