Amala Versus Kimchi by J M Ikeji

Adunni knew that her passion for Asia would take her somewhere big. The music, the food, the beautiful sceneries she saw in dramas-she wanted to see it all. She wanted to sit under a cherry blossom tree and feel the petals fall on her cocoa skin. She didn't care about the people, she wanted to go there for the city. Luck was on her side, as her close friend managed to land her a job at a Dooshirak company in Abuja, which was, of course, owned by a Korean family.

Ha Neul had just finished college in America and was eager to return to Korea, but he understood his parents' advice and went to a country that he knew nothing of. He wasn't really happy about coming here, but he found everything interesting most especially the newest employee who had just begun working two weeks before he came. They bond in ways they never thought they would, and as two young people in love, they take their relationship to the next level, despite all the harsh treatment that awaited them-Ha Neul's mother.

Day and night, Adunni wondered if her mother-in-law would ever see her as she truly was. And even after suffering multiple near-death encounters, she still wanted to know the reason why. She wanted to know why her mother-in-law despised her.

Is your love strong enough? To travel to the other side of the earth and live in a place you've never been, do things you've never done, and meet people you never thought you would?
