With a beautiful home and a charming boyfriend, Ann has built a seemingly perfect life, but it all crumbles away with one positive pregnancy test. With her carefully planned future now in question, Ann returns home to Florida to face her estranged mother, Hu''o''ng. Under the same roof for the first time in years, mother and daughter must face the simmering questions of their past, without the one person who''s always held them together.

And when Ann makes a shocking discovery in the Banyan House''s attic, long-buried secrets come to light. Spanning decades and continents, from 1960s Vietnam to the wild swamplands of the Florida coast, Banyan Moon is a stunning and deeply moving story of mothers and daughters, the things we inherit, and the lives we choose to make out of that inheritance.
