A Latin American immigrant teen who is also of Chinese descent lives his “Wonder Years” trying to fit in a half black, half white small Missisippi town in the 1980s.
This is what I’m able to glean: “Set in a 1980s Mississippi town, a mixed-race Latino teen must overcome racism in order to [GOAL]” OR “… overcome prejudice against immigrants …” OR Show “Wonder Years” e.g., “… racism when falling for the mayor’s daughter” Hope you find this constructive, make thisRead more

“strawberry obsessed college student” = protagonist
“traumatic childhood” = inciting incident
“growing up” = goal
“1960s San Diego” = setting
Could be a good story sketch, but overall too vague.
Lets start with the kooky ‘strawberry’ obsession. What underlying character flaw might this be revealing? Greed (over eating) or ambition (to be a strawberry farm). As it stands, this is more a distinguishing mark of character, rather than a character trait.
traumatic childhood sounds nasty, but be specific. Head trauma, rape trauma, verbal abuse trauma … Sighting the source of trauma would reveal the drama’s villain too.
Growing up is a good goal, but could it be more specific? Getting out of a bad relationship is specific, and maybe this story is about living with an abusive parent … just riffing here. The point is trauma must come from some where, causing character to do something, to attempt to be somewhere else

A coming-of-age lover dies at the hands of his new lover’s adversary but finds a way to come back for one hour each day if she will have him; otherwise, he’ll remain trapped in a dark world for the duration of her life.
