About the book
Isador Myung Hee Sohn- Isa- worships her mother, an exceptional beauty, born in Seoul and sheltered in a harem of sisters inside the wealthy family's compound. Isa's father, a scientist and professor, an orphan, is haunted by the war in which he served as a South Korean soldier and by a painful secret that he keeps from his wife. Still mourning the death of Isa's younger brother, Stephen, her parents are traditional enough to prize their dead son over their living daughter; to them, Isa only half exists. But unlike many Asian American daughters, Isa is neither meek nor quiet victim of tradition.
