The Man Who Knew Her Name

Seventeen-year-old Elena Park has always felt like half her story was missing.
Her American mother says her Korean father walked out before she was born - and Elena has learned not to ask questions. But when a quiet Korean man begins showing up at the grocery store where she works, speaking broken English and asking for his lost daughter, everything she thought she knew starts to crumble.

The man, Kim Jae-won, is a former South Korean military officer who has spent years searching for the child torn from him by orders he could never disobey. Now, across an ocean and nearly two decades later, fate has led him to a small American town-and to the daughter who doesn't yet know who he is.

As Elena begins to unravel the truth her mother has kept buried, she's pulled into a web of secrets spanning continents, military corruption, and the haunting cost of loyalty. Her search for identity becomes her father's chance at redemption, but the truth may come at a price neither of them are ready to pay.
