Her last relationship ended in flames. Her roommate-slash-best friend might be a hoarder. She's a perpetual disappointment to her traditional Japanese parents. And, most recently, she's been fired from her latest dead-end job. Mika is at her lowest point when she receives a phone call from Penny, the daughter she placed for adoption sixteen years ago. Penny is determined to forge a relationship with her birth mother, and in turn, Mika longs to be someone Penny is proud of. Faced with her own inadequacies, Mika embellishes a fact about her life. What starts as a tiny white lie slowly snowballs into a fully-fledged fake life, one where Mika is mature, put-together, successful in love and her career. The details of Mika's life might be an illusion, but everything she shares with curious, headstrong Penny is real: her hopes, dreams, flaws, and Japanese heritage. The harder-won heart belongs to Thomas Calvin, Penny's adoptive widower father. What starts as a rocky, contentious relationship slowly blossoms into a friendship and, over time, something more. But can Mika really have it all, love, her daughter, the life she's always wanted? Or will Mika's deceptions ultimately catch up to her? In the end, Mika must face the truth, about herself, her family, and her past, and answer the question, just who is Mika in real life? 650 0 $a Man-woman relationships $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Japanese Americans $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Widowers $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Adoptees $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Mothers and daughters $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Family secrets $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Deception $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Birthmothers $v Fiction. 655 7 $a Domestic fiction. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Psychological fiction. $2 lcgft 941 $a 2 945 $a lpt 952 $l FXPH314 $d 20231107010351.0 952 $l GDPF771 $d 20221202011554.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=188D0C38720F11EDB6E4AA0447ECA4DB 994 $a C0 $b JIUInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
