Description

Seventeenyearold Ginny Park is about to get expelled from high school again. Stephanie, the picture book author who took Ginny into her Oregon home after she was kicked out of school in Hawaii, isnt upset she only wants to know why. But Ginny has always been inbetween she cant bring herself to open up to anyone about her past, or about what prompted her to flee her native Japan. Then, among the scraps of paper and drawings of Stephanies stories, Ginny finds a mysterious scrawl that changes everything The sky is about to fall. Where do you go? Ginny sets off alone on the road in search of an answer, with only her journal as a confidante. In witty and brutally honest vignettes, and interspersed with old letters from her expatriated family in North Korea, Ginny recounts her adolescence growing up Zainichi, a Japanborn Korean, and the incident that forced her to leave years prior. Inspired by her own childhood, author Chesil creates a portrait of a girl who has been fighting alone against barriers of prejudice, nationality, and injustice all her life and one searching for a place to belong.
