Description
Gretchen Lin's life is turned upside down when she leaves her marriage in San Francisco to return to her childhood home in Singapore. There, she confronts two long-standing challenges: her mother's drinking problem and the pressures of her family's artisanal soy sauce business. As she navigates this complex situation, Gretchen must balance her personal ambitions with her filial duties. As tensions rise, Gretchen finds herself drawn into a new romance and becomes embroiled in a controversy surrounding her cousin and the Lin Soy Sauce business. With increasing pressure from both her family and herself to make a decision, Gretchen must choose between returning to her old life or embracing her family's vision for the future. This novel is a heartwarming exploration of one woman's search for a place to call home, and the unexpected art and tradition behind the brewing of soy sauce.
