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.

Interesting angle

This was a neat story about teenage girls navigating their lives as minorities in an affluent town.

Wonderful story!!

Mothers and daughters from different cultures and circumstances bring together a touching experience of love and perseverance

Genuine story line. Complicated relationships good ending, good character development.

Narrator was easy to listen too. Though I got lost a bit about name as they sounded similar.

Loved this book

Took a little to get into but a great book ! Some twists and turns focusing on relationships ! Very moving

Amazing Story

So well written. A mystery and a story of what love really is. Highly recommended

Good plot! Kept my attention

I really enjoyed this book! Well written, good descriptive writing. Good plot and definitely kept me guessing with its twist and turns well narrated also.

Sweet and heart wrenching

This truly was a sweet story and very predictable. However, I still found myself in tears at the end and somewhat broken hearted. It’s a great listen!

One of the best books I read this summer!

Heartfelt story between two Asian girls and their lives and adopted children. Well written and good narration. Perhaps a bit long …but very entertaining and thought provoking.

Good Listen with a Twist

I enjoyed the depth of the characters as well as the story. It was really well narrated, with lots of heart.

Just ok

Not a great story. Just dragged on and even when it all came together at end it was kind of boring and a bit of a stretch.
