Nicole Michelin avoids airplanes, motorcycles, and most of all, Japan, where her parents once were missionaries. Something happened in Japan...something that sent Nicole and her father back to America alone...something of which Nicole knows only bits and pieces. But she is content with life in little Mount Olive, North Carolina, with her quirky relatives, tank of lively fish, and plenty of homemade pineapple chutney. Through her online column for the Pretty Fishy Web site, she meets Harrison Michaels, who, much to her dismay, lives in Japan. She attempts to avoid him, but his emails tug at her heart. Then Harrison reveals that he knew her as a child in Japan. In fact, he knows more about her childhood than she does.
Because I want to know what happened to Nicole's Mom, and exactly what Harrison Mihaels knows. :) :Because I am curious!

This sounds like something I'd love - Japan (I do all my traveling through books), quirky relatives (I can relate! ha!), and homemade pineapple chutney... okay, so I don't even know what that is. :-) But it looks good! Thank you for your giveaways, Michelle!
ReplyDeleteOh and I love the cover!
I remember reading about this book somewhere (I don't remember where) and thinking that it sounded interesting. I would love to give it a try!

I would love to win this because I love stories with international scopes, as I live overseas. (But don't worry, I have a stateside address in the event I win!)stonefox@pobox.com
ReplyDeleteI would love to win this book because I have so much in common with Nicole. I avoid airplanes, I grew up near North Carolina, and my son lives in Japan (serves our country in the US Air Force there).
ReplyDeleteAnd the book sounds wonderful!
Blessings, Barbara
Lovely cover! Sounds like an interesting relationship and now I want to know what he remembers about her childhood in Japan. Thanks very much.....Cindi

I would love to read this- someone knowing more about her childhood than she does pulls me in
ReplyDeleteA drama that involves family relationships is my favorite type of fiction, and that this is a missionary family interests me even more. Thanks for the giveaway!

That book sounds great! I'd love to read it. Also, not sure if you have a suggestion box or anything, but is it possible to find a complete list of the books reviewed on your blog, organized by genre? I am Christmas-gift hunting, and would love to find some good fantasy, adventure, historical and contemporary novels, but not sure where to look to "comparison shop". Thank you!
ReplyDeletePlease add me to your list for the book giveaway. Thank you! It sounds like a really good read.
