About the Book
“Lydia is dead. But they don’t know this yet.” So begins this exquisite
novel about a Chinese American family living in 1970s small-town Ohio.
Lydia is the favorite child of Marilyn and James Lee, and her parents
are determined that she will fulfill the dreams they were unable to
pursue. But when Lydia’s body is found in the local lake, the delicate
balancing act that has been keeping the Lee family together is
destroyed, tumbling them into chaos. A profoundly moving story of
family, secrets, and longing, Everything I Never Told You is both
a gripping page-turner and a sensitive family portrait, uncovering the
ways in which mothers and daughters, fathers and sons, and husbands and
wives struggle, all their lives, to understand one another.
