The Noh Family

After a DNA test reveals an entire branch of newly-found family, a teenager travels from Tulsa, Oklahoma to the height of luxury in Seoul, South Korea to meet them . . . but begins to suspect she’s in a melodrama rather than a romantic comedy.

“A dazzling escape into South Korea’s high society and a grounding examination of what it means to be a family.”—Sarah Suk, author of Made in Korea

“All the whirlwind romance and jaw-dropping reveals of classic K-dramas.”—Publishers Weekly

What happens when the family secret . . . is a secret family?

Chloe Chang may be an 18-year-old obsessed with K-dramas, but she never expected her real life would turn into one. That’s pretty much what happens when a DNA test reveals a shocking truth: She’s got a whole extended family from her deceased father’s side half a world away in Korea. Not only that, but they own a famous high-end department store in Seoul, and they are rich rich.

When they learn about their genetic connection to Chloe, they immediately invite her to visit. Chloe’s mother is against the trip; she had her reasons for keeping them away. But she can’t stop Chloe from traveling to Seoul to spend time getting to know the Noh family.

Soon, Chloe is whisked from Tulsa, Oklahoma, into the lap of luxury in Seoul, enjoying sessions with a personal trainer, a handsome chauffeur at her beck and call, state-of-the-art med spa days, and more. And although her newfound grandmother, her halmoni, is warm and welcoming, Chloe can’t help but feel like she’s being kept at arm’s length from her other family members. Why would they invite Chloe to Seoul if not to get to know her?

There may be an even bigger family secret for Chloe to discover. Could joining the Noh family be worse than having no family at all?
