Part mystery and part family drama, this story centers around a missing Chinese-American woman who returns to Holland (where she spent her childhood) and goes missing. The story is told in three perspectives, with flashbacks from the missing woman, present day events from her sister who went to Holland to find her, and a mix of both from her mother. It dragged in places and the ending was a bit much, but overall it was a good enough read.
