Finding Naomi (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781685135072)

"A delightful novel by a skilled storyteller, Japan and the American Midwest blend seamlessly in this fast-paced modern-day fairy tale." -Karen Hill Anton, author of A Thousand Graces

Stuck in a dead-end bar job in central Tokyo and barely making ends meet, Naomi Kihara's life turns upside down when her American father, whom she hasn't seen since she was a toddler, dies. Having been brought up to believe he abandoned her, it's a shock to learn she is his heir. But there's a catch: Naomi must go live in his hometown for one year. Felix, Nebraska couldn't be any more different from Tokyo, Japan. And besides, not everyone in town is happy the Johnson property now belongs to the Japanese daughter everyone forgot Mike ever had in the first place. But with the help of her new friends and neighbors, Naomi discovers a strength in herself she never knew existed.

Finding Naomi is the tale of one woman's search for family, acceptance, and love.
