The award-winning author of Thank You, Mr. Nixon and The Resisters delivers [a] triumph of a novel.... Jen reflects America, at its best, its worst, its most vulnerable (The Miami Herald), and asks deep questions about religion, love, home, and meaning.Hattie Kong, a retired teacher and a descendant of Confucius, has decided that its time to start over. She moves to the peaceful New England town of Riverlake, a place that once represented the rock-solid base of American life. Instead of quietude, Hattie discovers a town challenged by cell-phone towers, chain stores, and struggling farms. Soon Hattie is joined by an immigrant Cambodian family on the run, and-quite unexpectedly-Carter Hatch, a love from her past.
