"Izumi Tanaka has never really fit in... It isn't easy being Japanese American in her small, mostly white Northern California town. Izumi---or Izzy, because "it's easier this way"---has always felt it's been her and her mom against the world. But then she discovers a clue to her previously unknown father's identity... and he's none other than the Crown Prince of Japan. Which means outspoken, irreverent Izzy is literally a princess. In a whirlwind, Izumi travels to Japan to meet the father she's never known and discover the country she's always dreamed of. But being a princess isn't all ball gowns and tiaras. There are conniving cousins, a hungry press, a scowling but handsome bodyguard who just might be her soul mate, and thousands of years of tradition and customs to learn practically overnight. Izumi soon finds herself caught between worlds and between versions of herself. Will Izumi crumble under the weight of the crown, or will she live out her fairy tale, happily ever after?" --- Cover.
