- Summary:
- Kathleen Cheng has gone through a humiliating breakup, dropped out of her graduate program, and left everything behind. Now she's back in her childhood home in Oakland, wondering what's next. She finds her mother has been transformed by love: the new Marissa Cheng is sporty, perky, and planning a wedding to a Silicon Valley tech entrepreneur. Kathleen takes a job at a start-up that specializes in an unconventional form of therapy based on touch. An unforeseen attachment to someone at work pushes her to rethink her relationships-- especially the one with Marissa. Will they succeed in seeing each other anew, adult to adult, despite old wounds and cultural barriers? -- adapted from jacket
