This story is about a girl Nicole Michelin who is in her early thirties and works as a middle school English teacher in North Carolina.She lives in her fears about motorbikes, airplanes and most of all Japan, the country where she was born.Her parents once were missionaries In Japan but due to a tragedy she lost her mother and thus her Father and Nichole were back in America.She didn't much about about her mother and their life in Japan until she writes an article about fishes on a website from which a man named Harrison conatcts her and then slowly he unravels her past to her.it's an easy and enjoyable read.
Few quotes which I liked from the book are :-
"You aren't in control of everything and anybody"
"Good things happen in fleeting moments.Enjoy what you can-those moments are sometimes all we get"
"Life is either a daring adventure or nothing."
