If You Lived Here: A Novel
by Dana Sachs
"Here is a real treat for anyone interested in Vietnam
adoption - a well crafted, colorful novel in which the adoption
of an infant boy plays a pivotal role. Ten years in the making,
this novel is the gripping and lyrical story of the healing friendship
between two very different women who travel together to Vietnam,
assisting one another on their personal quests. In an enriching
juxtaposition, the heartwarming story of the two women is interwoven
with a lyrical depiction of their two shared countries, northern
Vietnam and southern United States. Dana Sachs captures the deep
longing to have a child, as well as the strong emotions created
during the ups and downs of the adoption process. "If You
Lived Here" is a dramatic work of art that will be enjoyed
for many years." (Allison Martin)
