Description: Kyung Seo, the mail order bride, is more fully human that her Canadian suitor, Monty Wheeler, ever anticipated. Neither party to the arrangement is satisfied by their new life together, and what appears initially to be a matter of unrealized expectations colliding with reality evolves into a complex struggle to reconcile conflicting moral values and emotional needs that culminates in an incendiary self-scrutiny and a humbling reconciliation.
