Maggie McElroy, an American food writer, is still mourning the death of her husband when she gets the shocking news that a paternity claim has been filed in China against his estate. Was it possible that he had fathered the now five-year-old girl while working in his law firm's Beijing office? When she's assigned to go to China to interview a half American, half Chinese chef, she decides to personally investigate the claim against her husband, with an unexpected outcome.
