Twelve Thousand Mornings Mary Yoo

At the age of twenty-nine, Arie's safe, suburban world implodes. Suddenly she is unemployed, homeless, and newly divorced. Heartbroken and desperate to leave her failed American life behind, Arie buys a one-way ticket to Seoul, South Korea. Arie thrusts herself into the craze of Seoul night-life and fumbles through countless romantic entanglements. In the name of adventure, she rides (or escapes) on planes, trains, and tuk-tuks all over Asia. From the back-country of Laos, to the busy streets of Japan, to the back pews of churches, Arie battles old and new demons as she demands answers from God.
