This love story follows three generations and four continents. Have you ever questioned the definition of family? is it community or blood? How can know themselves authitically? This novel had me falling in love, and breaking my heart at the same time, and will leave a lasting impression. The characters and storyline is extremely relatable. As it explores birth parents, adoption, and adoptees. The underlying thread of identity and the power of love across place and time to unleash the truth within us is woven within this story.

this is about five people trying to find their place in the world. it was a different book from what I usually read but I enjoyed it. I would read another from the author.
