New Book

The Love Wife by Gish Jeh:

. . . The new couple adopts two Asian baby girls before, six years later, begetting their own blond son. Told with clips of narrative from the whole family, the novel's action begins with the girls as adolescents—Lizzy, 15, and Wendy, 9, and the son, Bailey, at 18 months. Rebellious and angry Lizzy deals with rejection issues as a result of her adoption, while sensitive and intuitive Wendy deals with being Asian in an all-white suburb.

See a review of the book at the Denver Post.
