by Jen Sookfong Lee
Single mother Alice Chow is drowning. With a booming online cloth diaper shop, her resentful teenage daughter Luna, and her screen-obsessed son Luca, Alice can never get everything done in a day.

The counters are clear, the kids' rooms are tidy, orders are neatly packed and labeled. But no one confesses they've helped, and Alice doesn't remember staying up late. Someone-or some thing-has been doing her chores for her. Alice should be uneasy, but the extra time lets her connect with her children and with her hard-edged mother, who begins to share their haunted family history from Alice's great-grandmother, a comfort woman during WWII, through to Alice herself. But the family demons, both real and subconscious, are about to become impossible to ignore.
