Description of Tapioca Fire:
"Tapioca Fire opens when Susan tries to solve the mystery of a missing parent only to uncover a greater crime. 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. This quest is hers: she discovers the truth behind her relinquishment, the life she might have led and a new purpose for her life going forward.
But it is as much the story of her adoptive parents who became pioneers in transracial and international adoption after an irreversible tragedy. This tribute to all aspects of the adoption triad includes stories of the women and men who gave children away lovingly, pragmatically or under horrible duress, and introduces us to David who, like many adoptees, chooses never to search for his missing father.
If you want to learn more about adoption, including the rich search & reunion subculture populated with sleuths, search angels and political activists, Tapioca Fire is a journey worth taking."
