At home, she doesn't fit in with her new stepfamily, and worst of all, she is furious with the one person she is closest to-her mother. She is completely cut off from her friends in Seoul and has no access to her beloved comics. She is dropped into a new school where she doesn't understand the language and struggles to keep up. So when a vacation to visit friends in Huntsville, Alabama, unexpectedly becomes a permanent relocation-following her mother's announcement that she's getting married-Robin is devastated. Growing up as the only child of a single mother in Seoul, Korea, wasn't always easy, but it has bonded them fiercely together. For as long as she can remember, it's been Robin and her mom against the world.
