Midori isn’t having the best year. To escape her parents and the potential marriage prospects they throw at her, she
agrees to marry an American and move to San Francisco.  The night after the couple’s engagement party, Kevin
breaks off the engagement and Midori moves into a hotel.

Alone in a foreign country, she knows that nothing’s waiting for her back home, so she decides to stay.  She calls up
the one man she met at the party and asks for advice.   

Soon, she’s sharing an apartment, baking goodies, and looking for a way to obtain a green card.  

MIDORI BY MOONLIGHT shows the struggle of one woman to make it in a world completely foreign to her and
finding herself fitting in more than ever.  A fun read!
