All her life, Meg Lindsay's mother told her what a disappointment she was. In Meg's opinion, no one could be a worse mother than the woman who gave birth to her, until Meg has a child of her own to care for. After Meg and her husband, Lewis, adopt a girl from an orphanage in China, Meg's love for her new daughter grows daily, but the tension, fear, and uncertainty of motherhood drive Meg to the brink of despair. Fearing that she is becoming the kind of mother she hates, she fights circumstance, rebellion, a loving but at times tense marriage, setbacks, and the native selfishness that lives in all of us.
