It's so refreshing to read a book with no bad language and nothing inappropriate. Also, the whole plot wasn't revolved/focused around/on romance, and to me, that's a relief, because by itself, this story sucked me in and didn't let go 'till the end. Although I tried, I didn't guess the right details on how they were related, but it was a beautifully sad story woven together to keep you guessing to the end. I may have skipped some of the description, but only because I was too excited too get the whole story straightened out. I think this story is worthy of a reread:). I thoroughly enjoyed this novel! Ingold did a wonderful job of tying history to a contemporary issue. Maggie Chen is a smart kid in Seattle preparing for an internship at the local newspaper. The sudden hit-and-run death of her father has thrown her a curveball, but she carries on with life and the summer internship anyway. As the story unfolds, Maggie discovers a mystery about her father's past, a mystery that surprises both her and her mother. At the same time, Maggie stumbles onto a big newspaper story that will expose corruption in city politics.I've always admired Jeanette Ingold; this novel has made me ENVY her, too!

Nice blend of using research to find ancestry. A good story line.
