The story
A heartfelt comedy about finding friendship in the land of opportunity. Thanksgiving, 1973. When Jane and Luna run into each other at the grocery store, they discover that they have much in common: they’re both 23 and recent Asian immigrants who have hardworking absentee husbands. Homesick and lonely, they are adjusting to a new country, filled with as much uncertainty as the places they’ve left. Over a bottle of wine (or two) and a questionable frozen turkey, they dream of Disneyland, learning to drive, and an unknowable future as they share their hopes and fears of making a new reality a home.
““Beautiful… THE HEART SELLERS is about intelligent, curious, creative women who find themselves bereft in a new country — where they recognize something in each other, and cheer each other on.””
