Corrina Park used to have big plans.

Studying English literature in college, she imagined writing a successful novel and leading the idealized life of an author. But she’s been working at the same advertising agency for the past five years and the only thing she’s written is ... copy. Corrina knows there must be more to life, but and she faces the same question as does everyone in her generation: how to find it? (With two-color illustrations throughout.)
