Friday August 15th, 1997. Two tiny Korean babies are delivered to Baltimore to t
wo families who have no more in common than this. Every year, on the anniversary
of 'Arrival Day' their two extended families celebrate together, with more and
more elaborately competitive parties, as little Susan and Jin-ho take roots and
become American.
Full of achingly hilarious moments and toe-curling misunderstan
dings, Digging to America is a novel about belonging and otherness, pride and pr
ejudice, young love and unexpected old love, families and the impossibility of e
ver getting it right...
