  <default_description>You're twelve years old.&#160;A month has passed since your Korean Air flight landed at lovely Newark Airport.&#160;Your fifteen-year-old sister is miserable.&#160;Your mother isn't exactly happy, either.&#160;You're seeing your father for the first time in five years, and although he's nice enough, he might be, well--how can you put this delicately?--a loser.

You can't speak English, but that doesn't stop you from working at East Meets West, your father's gift shop in a strip mall, where everything is new.

Welcome to the wonderful world of David Kim.</default_description>

    <body><![CDATA[As a general rule, I'm leery of reading books about Korean immigrants, but the author does a good job of telling the story of this individual family, rather than getting stuck in the rut of trying to define the 1st/2nd-generation Asian American identity.

    <body><![CDATA[This was a good read. The story kept me engaged and the characters were interesting. Essentially this is a story of a Korean family's adjustment to their US immigration, primarily narrated through the son's eyes.
