Originally from Fuzhou, China, Hua Wu spends most of her time missing her homeland and her grandmother before connecting in a West Village park with Jane Templeton and her daughter, Lily, who was adopted from China. Soon, the young Chinese woman leaves her restaurant job to nanny for Jane and Richard, Jane's husband. A strong bond quickly grows between Hua Wu and Lily; when the familial facade finally fractures, Hua Wu takes the steps that she believes are necessary to protect Lily. 500 $a Includes reading group guide. 650 0 $a Nannies $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Adopted children $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Immigrants $z New York $z New York $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Chinese $z United States $v Fiction. 651 0 $a New York (N.Y.) $v Fiction. 941 $a 8 952 $l HMPB845 $d 20230519011705.0 952 $l YCPD572 $d 20220518012449.0 952 $l BOPG851 $d 20181006043721.0 952 $l USUX851 $d 20160824073926.0 952 $l CKPA482 $d 20110524144136.0 952 $l RUPC135 $d 20091014101900.0 $m F Le 952 $l KSPG296 $d 20090708133753.0 952 $l YUPD232 $d 20090708133753.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=88C46B726BF211DEA13FF332A8D7520A 994 $a C0 $b IM9Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
