This is the story about the struggles of a girl who went through the Japanese war, loved and adored by her father and was devastated when he died when she was in her early teen. Its a story of her struggle to live a normal family life. She lived in an age where match making for marriage was an accepted practice. Being brought up in a traditional Asian family where girls were taught to observe filial piety, she obediently had to accept whoever she was being match made to, without seeing the potential groom in many cases. Her constant desire to leave the place she used to call home when her mother turned it into a den of wantoness. How was she going to get out of this place where she had fond memories of life with father? This home cannot be called home anymore.
