I thoroughly enjoyed this novel and did not even mind the flip-flopping narrative viewpoints, which normally annoys me. I understood the narrator's desire for a child; however...it was entirely, entirely unbelievable that her husband, for so many years, experienced what hundreds of thousands experienced in Vietnam and did not discuss it. Further, he refused to help her in the process and then, all of a sudden, everything ties up nicely in the end. I felt as if the novel would have been stronger and more believable had the narrator gone separate ways with her selfish husband and raised Haiho herself.

Forty-two-year-old Shelley Marino's desperate yearning for a child has led her to one of the only doors still open to her: foreign adoption. It is a decision that strains and ultimately shatters her relationship with her husband, Martin--the veteran of an Asian war who cannot reconcile what Shelley wants with what he knows about the world. But it unites her with Mai, who emigrated from Vietnam decades ago and has now acquired the accoutrements of the American dream in an effort to dull the memory of the tragedy that drove her from her homeland. As a powerful friendship is forged, two women embark on a life-altering journey to the world Mai left behind--to confront the stark realities of a painful past and embrace the promise of the future.
