Midori Saito's dream seems about to come true. Too
independent for Japanese society, Midori is a young woman
who has always felt like a stranger in her native land. So
when she falls in love with Kevin, an American English
teacher, she readily agrees to leave home and start a new
life with him in San Francisco--as his fiancée. Kevin seems to be the perfect man. That is, until he dumps
her for his blonde ex-fiancée, whom Midori never even knew
existed. Midori is left on her own, with just a smattering
of fractured English, not much cash, and a fiancée visa set
to expire in sixty days. Unable to face the humiliation of telling her parents she's
been jilted, and not wanting to give up on her "American
Dream," Midori realizes she's in for quite a challenge. Her
only hope is her new acquaintance (and potential landlord)
Shinji, a successful San Francisco graphic artist and
amateur moon gazer who fled Japan after a family
tragedy. And eventually, Midori surprises even herself as
she proves she will do almost anything to hang on to her
dream of a new life.
