An evocative family drama and a
riveting mystery about the ferocious pull of motherhood for
two very different women—from the New York Times
bestselling author of
Searching for
Sylvie Lee and
Girl in
Translation.
Jasmine Yang arrives in New York City from her rural
Chinese village without money or family support, fleeing a
controlling husband, on a desperate search for the daughter
who was taken from her at birth—another female casualty of
China’s controversial One Child Policy. But with her husband
on her trail, the clock is ticking, and she’s forced to make
increasingly desperate decisions if she ever hopes to be
reunited with her daughter. Meanwhile, publishing
executive Rebecca Whitney seems to have it all: a
prestigious family name and the wealth that comes with it, a
high-powered career, a beautiful home, a handsome husband,
and an adopted Chinese daughter she adores. She’s even hired
a Chinese nanny to help her balance the demands of being a
working wife and mother. But when an industry scandal
threatens to jeopardize not only Rebecca’s job but her
marriage, this perfect world begins to crumble and her role
in her own family is called into question. The Leftover Woman finds
these two unforgettable women on a shocking collision
course. Twisting and suspenseful and surprisingly poignant,
it's a profound exploration of identity and belonging,
motherhood and family. It is a story of two women in a
divided city—separated by severe economic and cultural
differences yet bound by a deep emotional connection to a
child.
