Book excerpt: In this sequel to Meeting Sophie, which tells the story of adopting Sophie as a single woman, Nancy McCabe picks up her family's story a decade later on a tour of China for adopted children. McCabe hopes that Sophie will find affirmation and connection in China, even as she sees firsthand some of the grim realities--overpopulation, pollution, and an oppressive government--but also worries about what that will mean for their relationship. Part travelogue, part memoir, Crossing the Blue Willow Bridge immerses readers in an absorbing and intimate exploration of place and its influence on the meaning of family.
