Digging to America by AnneTyler

I don’t always relate to Anne Tyler’s books but this one about adoption was very accessible. Maybe this is because I’ve been reading her books for fifteen years and am now getting closer to the ages of her main characters. In any case, this story followed two very different families who each adopt a child from Korea. One family is Iranian-American and the other is WASPy American and the friendship between the families that arises is one that brings questions of identity and American pride into focus.
