Lindsey Owyang made her first appearance in The Dim Sum of All Things (2004). The sassy Chinese American returns, and now that she's found love, her new quest is discovering more about her family's background. She has taken a part-time job at the Catholic grammar school she once attended, which has brought back the feelings of not belonging that troubled her as a child. She also realizes that she knows very little about her grandparents, and some mysterious photos send her in search of family history. Further complicating matters, Dustin Lee--a childhood crush--has suddenly reappeared. Although she's in love with Michael, she's more than a little curious about what it would be like to date a Chinese guy. Keltner maintains her sense of humor even as she deals with the complex emotions surrounding cultural displacement and family relationships, and fans and newcomers alike will enjoy this funny, multifaceted novel.
