      About This Book

      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.
