Synopsis
A young Korean girl and her family find it difficult to learn English and adjust to life in America., Young Ju Park is 5 years old when her family emigrates from Korea to the United States. Young Ju has dreams that life in America will be wonderful, but as time passes, she becomes more and more aware of her father's sexism, growing depression, and increasingly violent behavior. This story traces Young Ju's life from childhood to early adulthood and explores not only the theme of a family in crisis but also the experiences of an immigrant family adjusting to life in the United States. Nominated for a 2001 National Book Award in the Young People's Literature category, this book was also named a New York Times 2001 Notable Book and one of the Best Children's Books 2001 by Publishers Weekly.
