A GOOD MORNING AMERICA BOOK CLUB PICK A #READ WITH MC BOOK CLUB
PICK "A wonderful, life-affirming story about second chances,
parenthood, and love..."--Lauren Ho, author of Lucie Yi is Not a
Romantic and Last Tang Standing From Emiko Jean, the author of the
New York Times bestselling young adult novels Tokyo Ever After and
Tokyo Dreaming, comes a whip-smart, laugh-out-loud funny, and
utterly heartwarming novel about motherhood, daughterhood, and
love--how we find it, keep it, and how it always returns. Mika
Suzuki's life is a mess. Fired from a dead-end job, she shares a
home with her best friend, who just might be a hoarder if all the
unopened deliveries are a sign. Her last relationship--to a burnout
named Leif--ended in flames. And she's a perpetual disappointment
to her traditional Japanese parents, especially to her mother, who
keeps presenting her with dating prospects found in church. Then
she receives the surprise of her life--a phone call from Penny, the
baby she placed for adoption sixteen years ago. Now a headstrong
teenager, Penny is eager to learn all about Mika, who she is and
what her dreams are. The harder-won heart belongs to Thomas Calvin,
Penny's adoptive widower father. What starts as a rocky
relationship with him slowly blossoms into friendship and, just
maybe, something more. Faced with her own insecurities, Mika at
first embellishes the facts about her life. But Penny's love
revives so many of the dreams she once had, especially those about
being an artist and making a difference in the world... ultimately
forcing her to answer the question, Just who is Mika in real life?
