Digging to America

By Anne Tyler

This is a thought provoking novel by the author of "Breathing Lessons." What most Americans might consider a typical American couple, Bitsy and Doug Donaldson and Zedi and Sami Yazdan of Iranian descent but American citizens, adopt two little girls from Korea.

I couldn't put this book down. I had to consider aspects of parenting and adoption from new perspectives. the cliche' "We are a product of our environment" is disected and examined from members of each families generational experience with thoughts, feelings, actions and their insight into their personal lives exposed for the reader to consider.

A must read.
