Heart and Seoul

From USA Today bestselling author Jen Frederick comes a heart-wrenching yet hopeful rom-dram that shows the price of belonging is steeper than one may expect.

A Korean adoptee living in the middle of Indiana, Hara Wilson has never felt a true sense of belonging—until a data breach from a DNA matching service reveals the name of her biological father. Hara knows that this is something that she can’t ignore. As much as she loves her adoptive parents, this is a chance to finally discover her roots and know more about where she came from, so she does the only logical thing: she books a one-way ticket to South Korea.

When Hara gets to Korea, she realizes she’s way in over her head, especially when her metro card gets stolen. Straight from a Korean drama, an attractive man who introduces himself as Choi Boyoung comes to her rescue with an offer to show her around when he finds out it’s her first time there.

When her journey becomes rerouted and she has a lead on her birth mother, Hara’s quest to learn about her birth family turns into a whirlwind of heartbreak, disappointment, and confusion. Hara soon finds that the identity she has been so desperately searching for could be the very thing to destroy all she has ever known.
