Mika in Real Life

When Mika Suzuki reunites with the daughter she gave up for adoption sixteen years ago, can she convince her to stay?

At 35, Mika Suzuki is struggling. She's been fired (again). Her last relationship went up in flames. Her fervently traditional mother is perpetually disappointed in her. And now, she's had a phone call from sixteen-year-old Penny Calvin, the baby she reluctantly placed for adoption when she was just a teenager herself.

Mika is desperate to meet her. But she barely feels like she can take care of herself. Is she ready to show Penny who her mother really is? pages
