Lex's family isn't so unusual. If you're used to a loud, obnoxious but doing everything in love and for the best of you sort of family.... 

Lex loves volleyball and she loves the Lord. She hasn't found the love of her life yet, but it's not for lack of her intrusive family members trying. When her cousin is married, leaving Lexi the eldest single in her family, she wonders if she'll survive the 'help' she gets from others...including God. Surely He knows what she's up against and how to help her out? Maybe he wants her single for a while, if so, could he make it clear to her and her family so the nagging doubts and clumsy attempts can stop??? 

The author does an excellent job of bringing us into Lexi's loud life and letting us not only observe, but feel the poor girl's pain! While Lexi attempts to follow the families Japanese traditions and ways, she finds life a bit challenging. It's only when she allows God to work in her life that things begin to change. But, even then it's not smooth sailing.  SUSHI FOR ONE is a fun look into the life of a single Asian woman who just wants to live life, the way, well, she wants to.
