About the book:
A storm the size of Texas brews when Gloria Powell and Kai Chang meet in a Ft. Worth hotel. They have come to discuss the future of Lily, the daughter Gloria adopted from China and the sister Kai hopes to reclaim. Kai is a doctor who had to give up her little sister during the Cultural Revolution and has since discovered that an inherited genetic defect may be waiting to fatally strike Lily.

Gloria's relationship with her daughter is tattered and strained, and the arrival of Kai, despite the woman's apparent good intentions, makes Gloria fearful. Gloria longs to restore her relationship with Lily, but in the wake of this potentially devastating diagnosis, is Kai an answer to prayer--or will her arrival force Gloria to sacrifice more than she ever imagined?

My Review:

This is a wonderfully woven book of two countries/cultures and families.  What a beautiful book about a Pastor and his wife who desperately desire a child.  When they arrive in China anticipating a baby girl, the orphanage presents them with a young lady.  Immediately, you feel the love of Lily who was born in China and now lives in America, however, feel the pain of the siblings who are not united with their birth sister.

Lily's birth sister desires more than anything to reunite with Lily and has the connection to do so when learning of a genetic defect.   This story unveils human relationships to the core, along with the fear of losing and of desperately wanting what we think we should have in terms of love and commitment.  Ultimately Lily makes the choices she feels are best for herself.

This story is a beautiful depiction of relationships and love.  As I read the pages I couldn't help but think of those families that are a unit by heart choice not birth and of those birth mothers who for reasons we need not know, made a decision to place their babies in the arms of another to raise and love.
