Quest for Kimchi is the story of Rachel See, an Asian-American
lawyer living in New York who abandons her prestigious legal job after a
bad breakup and spontaneously moves to Ireland. Can she create the life
she's always wanted and defy cultural norms?
Rachel See thinks she has it all figured out, until her boyfriend breaks
things off and she's left with a job she dreads. Taking a leap, she
decides to move abroad to Ireland, where she takes a position at a
company without really knowing what the business does or what the job
entails. While there, with the help of a new crew of international
friends and her old buddy in New York, Magda, she finally learns to let
go of stability and ambition to experience life with all its ups and
downs. It's My Big Fat Greek Wedding meets Eat Pray Love--with a
side of kimchi that accompanies each adventure. Rachel ultimately quits
her job to venture off on a soul-searching journey filled with pizza,
pasta, prosciutto, and everything in between. There is some praying, a
little bit of loving, and a whole lot of healing; a love story between
two people you'd least expect; one too many Guinnesses; a lot of
crack--err, craic; and a big fat Greek wedding complete with big, phat
Greeks.
