    From #1 New York Times bestselling author Lisa See comes a moving novel about tradition, tea farming, and the bonds between mothers and daughters.

    In their remote mountain village, Li-yan and her family align their lives around the seasons and the farming of tea. For the Akha people, ensconced in ritual and routine, life goes on as it has for generations—until a stranger appears at the village gate in a jeep, the first automobile any of the villagers has ever seen.

    The stranger’s arrival marks the first entrance of the modern world in the lives of the Akha people. Slowly, Li-yan, one of the few educated girls on her mountain, begins to reject the customs that shaped her early life. When she has a baby out of wedlock—conceived with a man her parents consider a poor choice—she rejects the tradition that would compel her to give the child over to be killed, and instead leaves her, wrapped in a blanket with a tea cake tucked in its folds, near an orphanage in a nearby city.

    As Li-yan comes into herself, leaving her insular village for an education, a business, and city life, her daughter, Haley, is raised in California by loving adoptive parents. Despite her privileged childhood, Haley wonders about her origins. Across the ocean Li-yan longs for her lost daughter. Over the course of years, each searches for meaning in the study of Pu’er, the tea that has shaped their family’s destiny for centuries.

    204 ROSEWOOD LANE (A Cedar Cove Novel Book 2) Over 250 5-Star Reviews!

    Dear Reader,

    If you’ve been to Cedar Cove before, you’ve probably met my friend Grace Sherman. You can usually find her at home—she lives at 204 Rosewood Lane—or at the public library, where she works. Like me, she grew up in this town and she’s raised two daughters here. But did you hear that about six months ago, her husband disappeared? Just…disappeared. Where’s Dan? Why did he go? Who’s he with? Will Grace ever find out?

    I hope that all of us, her family and friends, are bringing her comfort during this difficult time. Comfort and a sense of shelter. I’m continually reminded that life can and does go on. For instance, everyone’s been discussing weddings and babies lately. Justine, my daughter, rather impulsively got married a little while ago. Grace’s daughter Kelly recently had a baby. Unfortunately, she refuses to accept that Dan might not return to see his first grandchild. Grace’s older daughter, Maryellen, is more realistic. Grace thinks she’s seeing a new man but for some reason won’t say who it is.

    Then there’s Jack Griffin, our local newspaper editor, the man I’ve been seeing. And…well, I have lots to tell you. Come on over and we’ll talk!
