Publisher Description

Mina is the perfect daughter. Bound for Harvard, president of the honor society, straight A student, all while she works at her family’s dry cleaners and helps care for her hearing-impaired younger sister. On the outside, Mina does everything right. On the inside, Mina knows the truth. Her life is a lie. At the height of a heat wave, the summer before her senior year, Mina meets the one person to whom she cannot lie. Ysrale, a young migrant worker who dreams of becoming a musician, comes to work at the dry cleaners and asks Mina the one question that scares her most. What does she want? Mina finds herself torn between living her mother’s dreams, caring for her younger sister, grasping the love that Ysrael offers, and the most difficult of all, living a life that is true. With sensitivity and grace, An Na weaves an intriguing story of a young woman caught in the threads of secrets and lies, struggling for love and finding a voice of her own.

"An Na is a really talented author who has a grasp on subtle and honest conveyance of emotion. As in "A Step From Heaven", Na gives readers an inside and intimate look into the relationships in a Korean Family. Here, we see the struggle and pressure that high school senior Mina faces while trying to live up to her overbearing mom's expectations as well as finding true love. Also fine is the relationship between Mina and her younger, hearing impaired sister, Suna."

    " A beautifully written book. The dialogue is real, the prose is lyrical. Music is a main component of the book, so I can connect...The only problem I found was that some of the story was left unresolved, but that's just my desire for a happy ending. In the context, it makes perfect sense. "

    " Usually I don't like stories that have the potential to be real. This book caught my attention with how true it describes a teenagers life when it is coated in lies. Maybe it can break the barrier of blindness between adults and the way their children are growing up. "

    " This book is very good for relaxing/slowing down your mind. It has a nice story line, but it could have been developed a little more. The book also portrays a very good message. Overall, I would recommend this book to another person. "
