Adoption

[close] Join author Austin Wimberly as he discusses Sobornost, his adoption-themed debut novel.

[close] Susan Piper was adopted years ago in Thailand. A once-in-a-lifetime career opportunity brings her to Japan for the opening of a new museum. It also gives her the excuse to hop another flight to visit the world of the woman forced to give her away years ago. Beautiful, dangerous, haunting, the encounters there will steer the course of her life and marriage with David, which take surprising turns over the next two decades. . Susan’s quest introduces her to the subculture of the adoption search and reunion movement. There she finds a best friend and mentor, Faith. Her story includes her creative, Jewish adoptive parents, her single, immigrant friend Farah, and her college sweetheart-husband David whose father abandoned the family years ago. . There is also the detective who specializes in adoption reunions, who carries a secret of his own. Her poignant meeting with her birth mother uncovers a deeper tragedy, human trafficking, that they will both begin to fight from their very different lives. . Tapioca Fire will take you with Susan to Bangkok, and rural Thailand, Tokyo and Nikko, Japan, as well as the New York suburbs and rugged Maine shores. Tapioca Fire proves the adage that the most perilous part of a quest is the journey back home.
