Amazon Editorial Review:
A National Book Award Nominee
A Publishers Weekly Best Children's Book of 2001
In this debut novel, a young girl describes her family's bittersweet experience in the United States after their emigration from Korea. Four years old on the flight to California, Young Ju concludes that America is heaven. But when they arrive, they are weighed down by the difficulty of learning English, their insular family life, and the traditions of the country they left behind.
Loved it! One of those stories that will stay with me for a very long time.
