Lexa Thomas has never quite fit in. Having grown up in a family of blondes while more closely resembling Constance Wu, she's neither white enough nor Asian enough. Visiting her father in Taiwan as a child, Lexa thought she'd finally found a place where she belonged. But that was years ago, and even there, some never truly considered her to be Taiwanese. When her estranged father dies unexpectedly, leaving the fate of his Taiwanese family in Lexa's hands, her safe life in New York City is no longer enough. She is faced with the choice to return to Taiwan and claim her place in her heritage . . . or leave her Taiwanese family to lose their home for good. Armed with the advice of two half sisters (one American and the other Taiwanese, who can't stand each other), a mother who has rediscovered her sexuality, and a man whose kisses make her walk into walls, Lexa finally confronts the person who drove her away from Taiwan all those decades ago. As the truth of the last fateful summer in Taiwan slowly unfolds, Lexa must stand up for herself and open her heart to family and love, or allow the repercussions of her family's choices to forever dictate the path of her life"-- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Racially mixed women $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Taiwanese Americans $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Families $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Inheritance and succession $v Fiction. 651 0 $a Taiwan $v Fiction. 941 $a 10 952 $l BOPG851 $d 20231010023712.0 952 $l TYPH572 $d 20220630014243.0 952 $l NYPE343 $d 20220506010640.0 952 $l FMPC224 $d 20220107010325.0 952 $l CNPC792 $d 20220105013825.0 952 $l TDPH826 $d 20211002010836.0 952 $l XXPH787 $d 20210807010540.0 952 $l CAPH522 $d 20210807010227.0 952 $l GBPF771 $d 20210803014448.0 952 $l BAPH771 $d 20210714010721.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=EA5ADF64E46811EB991CA80630ECA4DB 994 $a C0 $b IOUInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
