| 520 | |a "Angelina Lee feels like she doesn't belong. Newly divorced, and completely unmoored by the sudden and tragic death of her mother, she hopes studying Korean will reconnect her to her roots, but nothing about Seoul feels familiar. Further complicating matters is the resurgence of an alluring man from Angelina's past, and fellow classmate Keisuke Ono, an irritatingly good looking Japanese American journalist who refuses to leave her alone. What she'll barely admit, however, is the true reason behind her trip. She's convinced the key to understanding her mother's suicide lies in Korea. A shocking conversation with an estranged relative proves her right. Her mother had an older sister, Sunyuh, who disappeared under the Japanese occupation of Korea during WWII-a secret the family buried for over sixty years. Horrified, Angelina can't fathom why her mother never mentioned her, but knows, deep down, her mother's fateful decision must be linked to Sunyuh. To find answers, Angelina embarks on a journey that takes her across oceans and continents, and challenges everything she believed about her heritage and herself. Told through the bold, determined voices of three women, this poignant family drama explores love and loss, grief and healing, and the sometimes-difficult love that exists between mothers and daughters. It's about the questions we wish we had asked lost relatives, the lives we could have lived had we made different choices, and, above all, second chances-to reinvent ourselves, to confront the sins of the past, and to find lasting love"-- |c Provided by publisher. | ||
