ABOUT THE ORIGINAL BOOK

Our Missing Hearts by Celeste Ng tells the story of a young boy named Bird living in a society shaped by the Preserving American Culture and Traditions Act (P.A.C.T.). His mother, a poet, has been gone for years, and their lives are quiet and constrained. When Bird receives a mysterious letter containing only drawings of cats, he believes it's a message from her. This prompts him to embark on a quest to understand its meaning and find his mother, delving into the secrets and restrictions of their new reality. The novel explores themes of censorship, the power of stories, familial love, and the search for identity in a world grappling with fear and control.
