520 |a "An engrossing and original story about a woman who moves from Taiwan to California and builds an unexpected life there"--  |c Provided by publisher. 
520 |a Joan Liang's life is a series of surprising developments: She never thought she would leave Taiwan for California nor did she expect her first marriage to implode -- especially as quickly and spectacularly as it did. She definitely did not expect to fall in love with and marry an older, wealthy American and have children with him. Through all this she wrestles with one persistent question: Will she ever feel truly satisfied? As Joan and her children grow older and their circumstances evolve, she makes a drastic change by opening the Satisfaction Café, a place where people can visit for a bit of conversation and to be heard and understood. Through this radical yet pragmatic business, Joan constructs a lasting legacy.
