Determined to protect her family’s honor, she makes a difficult decision that leads her to move to Japan, where her family must build a new life in a society that often treats them as outsiders.

Over the decades, the novel follows Sunja’s descendants as they navigate hardship, discrimination, ambition, and the search for identity in a rapidly changing world. Through their struggles and triumphs, the family finds resilience and hope despite the challenges they face.
