This poignant and heartfelt novella chronicles the journey of an adoptive couple, as they navigate the joys and challenges of adopting their daughter YueMei from China. Told through a tapestry of memorable moments, the story captures their transformation into a family while exploring themes of love, resilience, and identity. The journey begins with the couple's diligent preparation, including assembling their adoption dossier and facing an unexpected setback when it is destroyed in a mailbox fire outside the Chinese consulate. Despite the obstacles, Casey and Ben remain steadfast in their determination to bring their daughter home. When they finally meet YueMei in a bustling Changsha hotel, their lives change forever. Ben's poignant interaction with a man from New Jersey on the elevator-who declares, "That kid just hit the lotto"-underscores the mutual fortune of their new bond. Casey, too, reflects on her role as a mother, from teaching YueMei to play with toys to cherishing nightly storytime routines.

The scene beautifully portrays the complexity of adoption-the joy of newfound family and the lingering wonder about the past. Through its tender vignettes, the novella celebrates the universality of love while honoring the uniqueness of YueMei's story.
