This is a fascinating historical fiction book about a Korean woman who moves to Hawaii. The characters and setting are very interesting. It is easy to empathize with the main character who wants to go to school.

I found this story to be very fascinating. I haven't read much about picture wives, leaving China and going to the Islands of Hawaii in the 1900's. There is parent love, bravery from the picture wives at such young ages, the forming of forever women friendships and the women starting and running their own businesses and of course love. The build up of the story is a page turner. The ending beautiful.
