Set in 1913, "The Laundryman’s Boy" follows Thirteen-year-old Hoi Wing Woo, who faces arduous labor in a Canadian Chinese laundry, feeling isolated and hopeless until he befriends Heather, an Irish maid, and they bond over books and shared dreams. Their friendship offers moments of escape as they plan to improve their lives, but looming political challenges threaten Hoi Wing’s future. This coming-of-age story explores themes of race, duty, and friendship in early Canada.
