Follow Flora's journey of falling in love with a foreign man, her grief of moving away from her hometown, and her finding acceptance and a sense of home in America. Flora unravels the layers of emotions of leaving home and relocating three times in a decade - from being a Hong Kong city girl to experiencing the gentle warmth and hospitality of Minnesota, later adapting to the laid-back island life of Maui, Hawaii, and eventually readjusting back to Hong Kong. In her endearing voice and her humorous comics, Flora presents an honest story of being an immigrant in America, the desire to fit in, the resilience to try new things, the humbleness to start from the bottom, and the joy of pursuing the American Dream by starting her own business. By the final page, you will feel more curious about other cultures and more courageous knowing that starting over can lead to belonging-wherever you are.
