Chuna's mom was a single mother and owned her own beauty shop in Seoul. Chuna was into Anime, drawing, and her friends. Together, they were an unstoppable pair who believed nothing could get between them. And then came the day when her mother made an announcement that turned her wold upside down. "We are going to visit America".Thinking that was a quick school break, Chuna packed what she thought she would need for a vacation and off they went to Hunstville, Alabama to visit her mother's friend, Mr. Shin. When they were supposed to leave and go back home, Chuna's mom announces that she is marrying Mr. Shin and they are staying in America.
Heartbroken at leaving her friends and her home so unexpectedly, Chuna struggles to find her place in this new land where she has no friends, Mr. Shin's children hate her, and the children at school constantly tease her and make fun of her because she speaks no English and there are no ESOL programs in the school to help her learn the language.
Can Chuna learn how to fit in? Will she ever get along with her step-sister and step-cousins?
Will her dream of returning to Korea ever come true?
