In the 1980s, there was a noticeable increase of Korean immigrants into predominantly white and African-American neighborhoods in the Puget Sound area. In our neighborhood, one of the first small business to be leased by an immigrant was the local gas station-market. The feel of our community changed and not without apprehension and cultural tension that was exhibited, if not physically, verbally. This book forced me to recall that unpleasant period - it's a story that delves into the heart of an immigrant who wants to integrate but feels his limits whether imposed by the community or by himself.
