About this title

Synopsis:

At a South Korean marketplace, three-year-old Kim Sunee's mother deposits her on a bench with a fistful of food and a promise to return. Three days later, a policeman takes the little girl and what is now a fistful of crumbs to a police station, where she learns that her mother isn't coming back. From here, her extraordinary life journey begins. Adopted by a young New Orleans couple, Kim spends her youth as one of only two Asian children in her entire school and church. At the age of 21, she becomes involved with a famous French businessman, and suddenly finds herself living in France, mistress over his houses and stepmother to his eight-year-old daughter.

But despite this glamorous lifestyle, Kim feels like an outsider, and it is in food and cooking that she finds solace and a sense of place.

Review:

Brave, emotional, and gorgeously written....I'm already awaiting volume two. (Frances Mayes, author of Under the Tuscan Sun)

A fine book. (Jim Harrison, author of Legends of the Fall)

Poetic...like a piece of chocolate: bittersweet, satisfying, and finished all too soon. (Laura Fraser, author of An Italian Affair)
