A harrowing and poignant novel following two young women in pursuit of kinship and self-discovery who yearn to survive in a world that doesn't know where either of them belong.

On a university campus in rural Qixian, Lin and Liz make an improbable pair: Lin, a Chinese student closer to her menagerie of pets than to her peers, and Liz, a Chinese American teacher grieving her mother's sudden death. They're each met with hostility--Lin by her classmates, who mock her for dating a white foreigner; Liz by her fellow English teachers, who exploit their privilege--and forge an unlikely friendship.

After a startling betrayal that results in Lin's expulsion, they swap places. Lin becomes convinced to pursue her degree at a community college near Liz's Ohio hometown, while Liz searches for answers as to what drove her parents to leave China before she was born. But when a global catastrophe deepens the fissures between modern-day China and an increasingly fractured United States, Lin and Liz--far from home and estranged from themselves--are forced to confront both the familiar and the strange in each other.

Unspooling over the course of a single extraordinary year in our not-yet-distant past and in small towns from Dandong to Deadwood, Transplants is a piercing story of migration, belonging, and the parts of ourselves that get lost in translation. Alternating between Liz and Lin's perspectives, it is a lyrical and moving exploration of race, love, power, and freedom that illuminates the limits and possibilities of what can happen when we open ourselves to the unknown and reveals how even our fiercest differences may bring us closer than we might ever imagine.
