Do you or your children have a unique name?🩵

My Korean name is Bae Yoon Jeung and my American name is Casey. My daughter’s name is Jade, her name isn’t very unique now but 26 years ago it was!

I love stories about mothers and daughters and adore the names Phoenix and Rain in Where Waters Meet by Zhang Ling.

If you enjoy stories about family and historical fiction, you’re going to want to read this one! Here is more information about Where Waters Meet!

“A daughter discovers the dramatic history that shaped her mother’s secret life in an emotional and immersive novel by Zhang Ling, the bestselling author of A Single Swallow.

There was rarely a time when Phoenix Yuan-Whyller’s mother, Rain, didn’t live with her. Even when Phoenix got married, Rain, who followed her from China to Toronto, came to share Phoenix’s life. Now at the age of eighty-three, Rain’s unexpected death ushers in a heartrending separation.

Struggling with the loss, Phoenix comes across her mother’s suitcase—a memory box Rain had brought from home. Inside, Phoenix finds two old photographs and a decorative bottle holding a crystallized powder. Her auntie Mei tells her these missing pieces of her mother’s early life can only be explained when they meet, and so, clutching her mother’s ashes, Phoenix boards a plane for China. What at first seems like a daughter’s quest to uncover a mother’s secrets becomes a startling journey of self-discovery.”
