Description
Lydia is dead. But they don't know this yet. So begins the story of this debut novel, about a Chinese American family living in 1970s small-town Ohio. Lydia is the favorite child of Marilyn and James Lee, a girl who inherited her mother's bright blue eyes and her father's jet-black hair. Her parents are determined that Lydia will fulfill the dreams they were unable to pursue. When Lydia's body is found in the local lake, the delicate balancing act that has been keeping the Lee family together tumbles into chaos, forcing them to confront the long-kept secrets that have been slowly pulling them apart. James, consumed by guilt, sets out on a reckless path. Marilyn, devastated and vengeful, is determined to find a responsible party. But it's the youngest of the family who observes far more than anyone realizes and who may be the only one who knows the truth about what happened.
