And no one embodies this spirit more than Elena Richardson, whose guiding principle is playing by the rules. Enter Mia Warren -- an enigmatic artist and single mother -- who arrives in this idyllic bubble with her teenaged daughter Pearl, and rents a house from the Richardsons. Soon Mia and Pearl become more than tenants: all four Richardson children are drawn to the mother-daughter pair. But Mia carries with her a mysterious past and a disregard for the status quo that threatens to upend this carefully ordered community. When old family friends of the Richardsons attempt to adopt a Chinese-American baby, a custody battle erupts that dramatically divides the town -- and puts Mia and Elena on opposing sides."--Provided by Publisher The New York Times Best Seller List Single mothers Fiction 2244 Motherhood Fiction 2807 Female friendship Fiction 79 Adoption Fiction 3407 Family secrets Fiction 418 Interracial adoption Fiction 3408 Custody of children Fiction 2137 Family life Fiction 155 FICTION Asian American. bisacsh 3409 FICTION Family Life. bisacsh 3410 FICTION Literary. bisacsh 3411 Shaker Heights (Ohio) Fiction 3412 Domestic fiction 821 Psychological fiction 1182 Fiction. fast (OCoLC)fst01423787 240 Domestic fiction. lcgft 821 Online version: Ng, Celeste.
