Description A lovely gift art from a good friend of mine, Kenliano - [link]

It's a beautiful pic of Aiko, the main character from my original novel An Angel's Prayer, from a scene in which she is teased for being "different" from the other Japanese girls. Aiko is born in Japan, but her parents are American, and many of the students in her school tease her mercilessly about it, calling her "gaijin"...or foreigner. Aiko tells the teaser in Japanese that she's not a foreigner...or rather "gaijin je nai" (that's what the kanji above her says)...or something close to it, since I only speak just a little Japanese and I could be wrong. Anyway, it's a wonderful pic and I was honored to get it. Thank you Ken. Please comment if you're going to fave. Respect yourselves and me.
