But as a biracial girl with formidable judo skills and a firey temper, Rika knows she is the least princess-like person in all of LA.\u003cbr\u003eSo when a series of tantalizing clues spread out over her Little Tokyo neighborhood seem to point her to her mother being alive, Rika has to take a leap of faith (accompanied by cute actor Hank Chen) that a girl like her might deserve happiness too. But as their madcap quest brings her closer to the truth--and closer to Hank--her doubts and insecurities threaten to destroy everything. In the sudden fairy tale that's taken over her life, Rika must decide if she's destined for tragedy . . . or brave enough to write her own happy ending.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eSarah Kuhn is the author of the popular Heroine Complex novels--a series starring Asian American superheroines.
