Capture A Husband: My Asian Mother's Quest

"What the fuck did you send over, Nicky?" Laurie is screaming over the phone at six fucking o'clock in the morning. "It has a note. And I believe that the message was clear." the name Nicky answered. "Well that's exactly, why I am asking!" she exclaimed angrily, glaring at the innocently looking red leather pill box, that is instantly recognizable as a famous jewelry brand, sitting on her kitchen counter, with a note that says - I heard you cry over a guy, here's a small gift to let you know that I'd marry you anytime. With the familiar scrawling penmanship in the white piece of paper, she would know who sent her the note, even without calling the guy on the phone. *** When the guy you confessed to rejected you, and your two exes came back running—declaring they would marry you any time, what would you do? Would you choose a familiar old love or the one that has your heart but doesn't want you? And to add to the chaos, her mother is on a mission to marry her nearing thirty-something ass to any man who breathes. What should a girl do in such a situation? Run away, of course! But then, how far can you run away until all the life's decisions you screwed up in the past caught up with you and you ended up with no choice but to face them. Welcome to Laurie’s adventure and just to be clear this is not a love story BUT a quest. [WARNING: Some chapters may contain mature R-18 content.] --- Book cover by Sendaline_16

'Home' - a  place where Laurie has been estranged since she lost her father. She and her mother had a hard time patching their relationship ever since. 

In the beginning, her mother served as the mediator between her and her father since they always clashed with each other. When her father died, her mother didn't know how to communicate with her. There's nothing to mediate. And when her father died, she was angry. 

Her guilt hid in anger. She was angry at everyone and everything. And her way to release her anger was to do things that were against her father's rules. 

That's why when Jiro said they would go home; the word felt strange to her. She doesn't consider any place home. Not even London where she spent so many years because of work.
