Description
“A mesmerizing novel filled with different types of love and secrets from the past.” —Jean Kwok, New York Times bestselling author of Searching for Sylvie Lee
A missing child, two girls in search of their true identities--a stunning novel of mothers, daughters and best friends
In June 1998, Mimi Truang is on her way home to Vietnam when her toddler daughter vanishes in the Philadelphia airport.
Seventeen years later, two best friends in Chestnut Hill, Pennsylvania, discuss their summer plans before college. Kit, with the support of her white adoptive parents, will travel to Tokyo to explore her Japanese roots. This dizzying adventure offers her a taste of first love and a new understanding of what it means to belong.
Sabrina had hoped to take a similar trip to China, but money is tight. Her disappointment subsides, however, when she meets a bold, uncompromising new mentor who prompts Sabrina to ask questions she’s avoided all her life. Meanwhile, Mimi purchases a plane ticket to Philadelphia. She finally has a lead in her search for her daughter.
When Mimi, Kit, and Sabrina come face to face, they will confront the people they truly are, in this tremendously moving novel that is propelled to its astonishing climax in a way you will never forget.

This book is a gut punch in the best way. It dives deep into the messy, complex layers of family, race, and identity. Mimi’s heartbreaking quest for her daughter, Kit’s search for her roots in Tokyo, and Sabrina facing her hidden truths are all so incredibly well-crafted. The emotions run raw and real, with a sharp look at what belonging really means, whether it’s about blood or something else entirely. The writing pulls you in and doesn’t let go. I felt every page of this.

This book broke my heart but healed it too. A missing child, two girls in search of their true identities--a stunning novel of mothers, daughters and best friends. I laughed, cried, screamed but walked away from this book knowing the true spirit of the human resilience. A must read!
