Bookroo's summary

In a tapestry of secrets and cultural divides, four Chinese mothers and their American daughters navigate the complexities of identity and heritage. As the daughters uncover their mothers' hidden pasts, they confront their own struggles for love and understanding. Can they bridge the gap between generations and cultures, or will the weight of untold stories keep them apart? Discover the poignant journey of family, sacrifice, and the unbreakable bond that ties them together.
