Book Description
When I was six months old, I dropped from the sky -- the lone survivor of a deadly Japanese plane crash. The newspapers called me Heaven. I was adopted by a wealthy family in Tokyo, pampered, and protected. For nineteen years, I thought I was lucky.
I'm learning how wrong I was.
They say your life begins on your wedding day.
Here's what happened on mine:
I lost the person I love most.
I learned that everything I knew about my family was a lie.
Now I'm being hunted. I must fight back, or die.
My life ended that day.
The old Heaven is gone.
I AM SAMURAI GIRL.
"Samurai," based on a series of popular young-adult novels, centers on a 19-year-old Japanese girl named Heaven (Jamie Chung) who discovers that the wealthy businessman who adopted her as an infant is really the head of the Yakuza (the Japanese mafia) and had her beloved brother brutally murdered. She breaks from her family and begins training to become a samurai, and with the help of a group of new American friends, sets out to take down her father's evil empire.

You may have already seen this but it seems appropriate to where this topic has gone.

These GIRLS promptly escaped from a maximum security stockade to the Los Angeles underground. Today, still wanted by the government, they survive as soldiers of fortune. If you have a problem, if no one else can help, and if you can find them, maybe you can hire the .... SAMURAI GIRL ?

While hoping to build on its summer success with "The Secret Life of the American Teenager," ABC Family doesn't draw blood with the opening adventure of "Samurai Girl" -- a six-hour, three-night adaptation of the young-adult novels. Think of this "A hero is awakened" story as a poor woman's "Kung Fu Panda," albeit with a much better-looking (and considerably less-appealing) lead. It's the sort of production rife with plenty of action but nothing that's remotely stirring, putting far too much pressure on petite Jamie Chung to carry the drama.
