Michele E. Northwood

This is a very very very interesting memoir. I loved it.

The story

Michele went to Korea for six months in the 90s. She was very young at the time, only twenty years old. She turned 21 in the trip. She went to dance with two other girls. They were very different in shapes and sizes, and that ended up being a little bit of a problem for her, which we know later on.

The other two girls were very distinctive. One was Rachel, who was young but had gone there before, so she became the head of the trio. She was a little bit of a narcissist. And there was Louise, who
was a don’t take s%#@t from anybody kind of woman. So Louise was a very important presence in Michele’s life.
Michele went there being very kind, very non-confrontational. Because of things that happened in the trip, and because of Louise’s presence, she learned to stand up for herself as she became her own woman.

So this is a really fascinating of the book.
