There is a fine and complicated line between devotion and sacrifice. This candid and beautifully written memoir captures the varied thoughts and emotions of striving to be a devoted daughter or partner while learning not to sacrifice one's self, dreams, and ambitions. It prompts us, Korean-American or not, to consider how much to give of ourselves to those we love. I couldn't put it down and finished in a day.
