In the wake of a tragedy and fueled by guilt from a secret she' s kept for years, a woman discovers how delicate the thread that binds family is in this powerful novel by Lyn Liao Butler. Two days before Tam and Tony Kwan receive their letter of acceptance for the son they are adopting from China, Tony and his estranged cousin Mia are killed unexpectedly in an accident. A shell-shocked Tam learns she is named the guardian to Mia' s five-year-old daughter, Angela. With no other family around, Tam has no choice but to agree to take in the girl she hasn' t seen since the child was an infant. Overwhelmed by her life suddenly being upended, Tam must also decide if she will complete the adoption on her own and bring home the son waiting for her in a Chinese orphanage. But when a long-concealed secret comes to light just as she and Angela start to bond, their fragile family is threatened. As Tam begins to unravel the events of Tony and Mia' s past in China, she discovers the true meaning of love and the threads that bind her to the family she is fated to have.
"I couldn' t put this book down. A masterful story of sorrow, secrets and unexpected romance, Ms. Butler writes with humor, compassion and honesty. Simply wonderful. I can' t wait for more from this gifted author. "-Kristan Higgins, New York Times bestselling author of Pack Up the Moon "Lyn Liao Butler does it again! I was anticipating Butler' s second book after devouring The Tiger Mom' s Tale, and Red Thread of Fate did not disappoint! With a poignant tale and beautiful prose, Butler once again whisks us onto a powerful journey of loss, sorrow, but ultimately a journey of quiet strength. "-Jesse Q. Sutanto, critically acclaimed author of Dial A for Aunties "Lyn Liao Butler is quickly becoming a go-to author for heartfelt, complex stories. Red Thread of Fate has everything-family secrets, mystery, identity. The rare blend of suspense and humor makes this story hard to put down. I can' t wait to read what Butler writes next!"-Saumya Dave, author of What a Happy Family "A heartfelt contemplation on the course of our lives-what is fate, what is the result of the choices we make-coupled with a central mystery that will keep you reading late into the night. It seems Lyn Liao Butler' s fate is to entertain with absorbing stories and compelling characters that linger long after the final page. "-Steven Rowley, New York Times bestselling author of The Guncle
Lyn Liao Butler was born in Taiwan and moved to the States when she was seven. In her past and present lives, she has been- a concert pianist, a professional ballet and modern dancer, a fitness studio owner, a personal trainer and instructor, an RYT-200 hour yoga instructor, a purse designer with an Etsy shop and most recently, author of multi-cultural women' s fiction. Lyn did not have a Tiger Mom. She came about her over-achieving all on her own. When she is not torturing clients or talking to imaginary characters, Lyn enjoys spending time with her FDNY husband, their son (the happiest little boy in the world), two stubborn dachshunds, and trying crazy yoga poses on a stand-up paddleboard. So far, she has not fallen into the water yet.
