Our book group chose this because of the local connection but it has turned out to be a hit across the country. Michelle grew up in Eugene the daughter of a white father and a Korean mother. She did not make life easy for her parents and struggled with her mixed heritage. Following her mother's death, Michelle wrote this memoir to explore that difficult relationship and to honor her Korean connection. Now a recognized indie musician in a band called Japanese Breakfast, she is not afraid to expose all her flaws. In the end her story is an example of the way we can break through our past mistakes, start over, and embrace all that we are.
