From the New York Times bestselling author of Girl in Translation comes a powerful and emotional novel that explores the complex bonds of motherhood and the lengths we will go to protect our children.

Jasmine Yang believed her daughter was gone forever when she was taken from her arms five years ago. But she discovers that her controlling husband sent the baby to America to be adopted as a result of China's one-child policy. Jasmine flees her rural Chinese village with nothing but a desperate desire to find her daughter.

In New York City, she meets Rebecca Whitney, who appears to have it all: a successful career, a beautiful home, a loving husband, and an adopted Chinese daughter she adores. But when an industry scandal threatens to ruin Rebecca's career and marriage, her perfect world begins to crumble.

Two women, separated by wealth and culture, are bound together by their love for the same child. When they finally meet, their lives will never be the same again.

This novel is a searing exploration of the human heart and the sacrifices we are willing to make for the ones we love. It is a story of hope, resilience, and the power of love to overcome even the greatest of obstacles.
