Soeul Searching

One failed application. One year to find herself. One city that changes everything.
​Shanica's life was planned out to the last detail-at least, according to her father. Stanford was supposed to be her future, the path her mother once walked. But when the rejection email arrives and her father moves his new girlfriend into their home just a year after her mother's death, Shani's world shatters.
​Trapped between a grief-stricken home and a future she no longer sees, Shani takes a leap of faith. With a nudge from her loud, loving, half-Korean and half-Spanish second family, she finds herself on a plane to Seoul.
​Will a gap year in the heart of South Korea help her heal, or will she get even more lost in the neon lights of a foreign city?
