How can two tiny Korean babies, adopted by very different Baltimore families, have such a profound effect on the lives of those who have chosen them? Fans of Anne Tyler's stylish writing will love this book and those who have never experienced her are in for a treat. Jin-Ho joins the Donaldson's, a close-knit family not afraid of expressing their feelings. Sami and Ziba Yazdan, both of Iranian origin, become the parents of tiny Susan. The story of these two disparate families, who stay in contact over the years, is both touching and funny. A great read.
