Hidden Blossom Nola Li Barr

Anne thought all of the family secrets had been revealed until she saw the photo.




A second journal falls into Anne's lap just as she is accepting her inheritance and her grandmother's secret. This time, an old photo of her mother with a mixed-race boy and an unknown woman comes with it. When she finds out the boy is her long-lost uncle-someone whom her mother has never mentioned-she promises to find him.




Anne embarks on a new journey to Taiwan with her mother and boyfriend, Sebastian, where her Chinese American culture hinders more than helps. She must navigate a culture and a complex extended family that is at once familiar and foreign. Family bonds and relationships are tested as she hopes to locate her lost uncle, but the most tested relationship is the one she holds with Sebastian.




As Anne embarks on an emotional journey to discover the truth behind her family's closely guarded secrets, she opens wounds she does not see coming.




Hidden Blossom is the second book in the Skyline Mansion women's fiction series. A journey to Taiwan filled with the complexity of multicultural relationships, soul-searching heroines, and the constant of a mother's love.
