And still, the characters will linger on. Min\u2019s aching debut novel tells the story of Isadora Myung Hee Sohn \u2013 named after the dancer Isadora Duncan and called \u201cIsa\u201d \u2013 the daughter of Korean American immigrants struggling to find their place. The book opens with an orphaned Isa, having survived the fire that killed her parents, and moves backwards in time to reveal bit by bit the troubled, tragedy-filled lives of a family torn apart by misunderstandings, displacement, and loss.
