Now she's in Seoul, South Korea, with her childhood best-friend Mindy. The young women share a special bond: they are both Korean-born adoptees into white American families. Mindy is in Seoul to track down her birth mom, and wants Lisa to do the same. Trouble is, Lisa isn't convinced she needs to know about her past, much less meet her biological mother. \u003cbr\u003eShe'd much rather spend time with Harrison, an almost supernaturally handsome local who works for the MotherFinder's agency. When Lisa wakes up inside a palatial mountain compound, the captive of a glamorous, surgically-enhanced blonde named Honey, she soon realizes she is going to learn about her past whether she likes it or not. What happens next only could in one place: North Korea.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Unnamed Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/16\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781944700744\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.75lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.40h x 5.50w x 1.10d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReview Citations: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003ci\u003eKirkus Reviews\u003c\/i\u003e 08\/15\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 08\/27\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBooklist\u003c\/i\u003e 09\/15\/2018 pg. 22\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Alice Stephens","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":36672002424988,"sku":"9781944700744","price":16.14,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/products\/img_e308d168-83c0-4fb4-a3de-9347924124eb.jpg?v=1603926733","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/famous-adopted-people-9781944700744","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
