A Step from Heaven is a story about a Korean family coming to the United States and the hardships they face along the way. The central figure in the story, Young Ju, is the subject of a fascinating story in which she evolves into very much a heroine within her own family.
The book highlights the struggles that foreign families face when relocating. Those struggles culminate towards the end of the book, which is where Young Ju undoubtedly becomes the strongest figure in the book.
I enjoyed this story for the coming of age tale that it is. Young Ju evolves into a patriarch within her family, all while we see a consistent deterioration of character for one of the story's other key figures. Anyone that has faced these same struggles can relate to the story and will enjoy reading it for the good, not-too-demanding read that it is.
