But it isn't long before her childhood imaginary friend - an achingly familiar, spectral woman in the snow - comes to claim her at last.Years ago, Elsa's now-catatonic mother had warned her that the women of their line were doomed to repeat the narrative lives of their ancestors from Korean myth and legend. But beyond these ghosts, Elsa also faces a more earthly fate: the mental illness and generational trauma that run in her immigrant family, a sickness no less ravenous than the ancestral curse hunting her. When her mother breaks her decade-long silence and tragedy strikes, Elsa must return to her childhood home in California. There, among family wrestling with their own demons, she unravels the secrets hidden in the handwritten pages of her mother's dark stories: of women's desire and fury; of magic suppressed, stolen, or punished; of the hunger for vengeance."--Publisher. 650 0 $a Korean American women $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Women scientists $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Imaginary companions $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Mental illness $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Blessing and cursing $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Family secrets $v Fiction. 651 0 $a Korea $x Folklore $v Fiction. 941 $a 6 952 $l BOPG851 $d 20231010022410.0 952 $l TYPH572 $d 20220630014630.0 952 $l CBPF522 $d 20211020011113.0 952 $l TDPH826 $d 20210702012337.0 952 $l TCPG826 $d 20210702010548.0 952 $l BAPH771 $d 20210515010020.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=CD6427F8B54211EBB134BF9536ECA4DB 994 $a C0 $b IOUInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
