In South Korea, being overweight is seen as worse than being unattractive. At seventeen, Kwon Hye-rin had heard enough whispers and stares to last a lifetime. On her eighteenth birthday, she left for the States - and didn't look back. Five years later, she returns to Seoul for a reunion. She's changed on the outside, but inside, the same doubts remain. Now the world notices her - especially Choi Sang-chul, the guy who seems like a perfect lead. But Yoon Ji-hoon, her best friend from before, has always seen her...even when no one else did. This is not just a story about love. It's about self-worth, friendship, and the truths we run from -until they catch us. Because sometimes, the hardest person to face is the one in the mirror.

He dreams of creating an empire that will lift himself, his loved ones, and the poor out of struggle... and leave behind a legacy that speaks louder than his past.

Objects in the mirror are closer than they appear... Just when you think you've put something behind you for good, you look back and find it trails you like your very own comet's tail, lighting a path through the dark. Reading through these pages, you'll come across a book within a book, what I call the "Waterfall Poems". Each poem speaks to an image etched in memory, as I recount a very long, terrifying, and important dream. The kind of dream that slays you, then rebuilds you one tiny piece at a time, over a period of many years. Overall, "Express baggage and all" maps a deep psychological journey, undertaken as a healing transition from one difficult life passage to another. Reading here is not for the faint of heart, but for those who find they're drawn to explore the inner depths of what it means to be a human being on planet Earth, in this particular moment in time.

It's me, not her.
