Perfect for you if...

You love multigenerational family stories where food and tradition carry emotional weight
You're drawn to books exploring diaspora, identity, and how families keep secrets across continents
You want a character-driven narrative that treats healing and reconnection as serious, earned work

Maybe not for you if...

You prefer fast-paced plots over emotional introspection and slow reveals
You're looking for light, feel-good reads without complicated family trauma or historical grief
You want a mystery with a quick resolution rather than one that asks hard questions about what we're willing to forgive

About this book

Chef Liv Kuo's career is interrupted when a traumatic incident leaves her unable to leave her Manhattan apartment. Her grandmother Ah-Ma in Taiwan reaches out with an urgent request: help find Ah-Ma's fourth daughter, taken from her as an infant decades ago. Liv learns she has an aunt she never knew existed. Traveling to Taiwan, Liv discovers her grandmother's story—one shaped by martial law, difficult choices, and a sixty-year search for a lost child. As grandmother and granddaughter bond through food and family traditions, they pursue answers together. Their quest uncovers an old cookbook and a tale of betrayal that challenges everything Liv thought she knew about her family. These revelations offer Liv a path toward confronting the trauma she left behind.
