A bittersweet coming-of-age debut novel set in the Korean
community in Toronto in the 1980s. This haunting coming-of-age story, told through the eyes of
a rebellious young girl, vividly captures the struggles of
families caught between two cultures in the 1980s. Family
secrets, a lost sister, forbidden loves, domestic
assaults—Mary discovers as she grows up that life is much
more complicated than she had ever imagined. Her secret
passion for her English teacher is filled with problems and
with the arrival of a promising Korean suitor, Joon-Ho,
events escalate in ways that she could never have imagined,
catching the entire family in a web of deceit and violence. A unique and imaginative debut novel, Kay’s Lucky Coin
Variety evocatively portrays the life of a young Korean
Canadian girl who will not give up on her dreams or her family.
