I was utterly captivated by this book. By the music. By the talking all night / can't get enough of each other first hours of meeting that one person who will change your life forever. By Nick and Norah -- fantastic, intelligent, straight-edge 18 year olds who are getting it figured out. Parents -- shocked by the liberal use of the F-word? Let it go.

At 42 Jessie's life was good. She had made a home and family with a man she still loved after 20 years, raised a daughter, and enjoyed her art that she was good at, but never great. The problem? She didn't know what it meant to be her and she is abruptly faced with the fierce need to find out. I was deeply moved by this book of passion, both spiritual and erotic, of the fragility of relationships and of the need to be true to ourselves.

What can you do when the only witness to the death of a loved one is a dog? This is the saddest, most romantic book that I've ever read.

At the end of the Korean War, an entire sub-class of people was left behind. These were the throw-aways of Korean Society - the mixed race children and the prostitutes that bore them. With no hope for the future, the dream of someday going to America was often the only thing that sustained them. This book graphically illustrated a side of life that many of us can't even imagine.
