DIGGING TO AMERICA by Anne Tyler In "Digging to America," two families meet in the summer of 1997 at a Baltimore airport lounge as each awaits the arrival of a baby girl from Korea. ...Improbably, the two families strike up a lasting friendship. What force could fuse two such mismatched clans? At first, with the introduction of a joint annual "Arrival Party" conceived by the Donaldsons, it seems nothing more than the desire to help their daughters fit in. But it soon becomes clear that the babies aren't the only ones whose foothold needs securing. These little girls will give new direction — and new purpose — to their parents and grandparents too.
