18 year-old Willow is of marriageable age. One option is to leave Korea and go to Hawaii to become the "picture bride" of a fellow Korean. With no prospects locally for a poor girl, she sets off with her best friend-who became a widow after a two-month marriage-to marry complete strangers.

This fascinating look at the Korean culture a hundred years ago sounds like a wonderful read. I always enjoy learning about different cultures and time periods.
