Born in Tokyo, raised in Chicago, and blooming on the South Side, Bae Kyomi Tsukihana-Cross is anything but ordinary. A quiet storm of creativity - part poet, part fashion designer, part dreamer - she finds herself falling deeper into love with Jake Taylor, a boy caught between the world he was born into and the one he wants to build.
From middle school to young adulthood, Southside Camellias follows their raw, honest, and emotional journey through friendship, first love, family pressure, heartbreak, growth, and a love that dares to bloom in concrete.
In a city that doesn't always protect soft things, Bae and Jake fight to stay rooted - to each other, to their dreams, and to themselves.
