Frequently asked questions

• Is this book based on a true story?

  While the narrative is fictional, it was inspired by the author's own experiences growing up as the youngest child in a traditional Chinese immigrant family, where she often felt her voice held less weight than those of her brothers. The author also drew inspiration from the real-life challenges faced by women she has known who were abandoned as children or forced to give up their babies.

• Does this book connect to the author's other novels?

  This is a standalone novel and does not require reading any of the author's previous works to follow the plot or character arcs.
