On the outside, twenty-eight-year-old Fiona Yu appears to be just another Hello Kitty--an educated, well-mannered Asian American woman. Secretly, she feels torn between the traditional Chinese values of her family and the social mores of being an American girl. To escape the burden of carrying her family's honor, Fiona decides to take her own virginity. In the process, she makes a surprising discovery that reunites her with a long-lost friend, Sean Killroy. Sean introduces her to a dark world of excitement, danger, cunning, and cruelty, pushing her to the limits of her own morality. But Fiona's father throws her new life into disarray when he dupes her into an overnight trip that results in a hasty engagement to Don Koo, the spoiled son of a wealthy chef. Determined to thwart her parents' plans to marry her off into Asian suburbia, Fiona seeks her freedom at any price. How far will she go to bury the Hello Kitty stereotype forever? Fiona's journey of self-discovery is biting and clever as she embraces her true nature and creates her own version of the American Dream, eliminating--without fear or remorse--anyone who stands in her way.

Join Hello Kitty as she bakes a pie with her mother in the kitchen, listens to her grandmother read her a story in the living room, puts on a puppet show in the playroom, and engages in other activities thoughout the house with her family.

The title uses the words road warrior to express the competitive battles you have on the concrete roads against other runners training to get to the finish line before you and get the glory of beating you and all challengers. This is like your local weekly Olympic races, and at any skill level you feel like a winner that you completed this event. Also, take note that this book was written not only for runners, but for everyone.
