In a stunning debut novel that explores motherhood, immigration, and the search for identity, a pregnant Scarlett Chen embarks on a life-changing journey. Leaving behind her factory life and forbidden love in China, she finds herself in Los Angeles, hidden away in a clandestine maternity home. Miles from her native land, Scarlett grapples with the memories of Boss Yeung, the factory owner who fathered her child. Thrilled with the news of a son on the way (something his three daughters couldn’t provide), Yeung orchestrated Scarlett’s secret trip to America. Here, their “little prince” will be born with the coveted U.S. citizenship, a key to a brighter future. A River of Stars is a captivating exploration of home, belonging, and a mother’s fierce determination to forge her path. With wit and empathy, the novel promises an entertaining and unpredictable adventure.
