Reviews" A chaotic journey of personal discovery, love, and healing unfolds as the siblings learn more about their family's experiences grappling with racism, generational trauma, and survival as Vietnamese refugees. Laced with humor and heartbreak, Huynh's (The Fortunes of Jaded Women, 2022) storytelling shines through the cacophony of Tr?n family dynamics. As she tells of family, food, and fractured relationships through her characters, universal themes of belonging and resilience will resonate with readers of all backgrounds." --Booklist, "Blend family intrigue and drama with long held secrets and you get a gem of a book that sparkles with longing and hope and healing." -- New York Times bestselling author J.C. Cervantes, " The Family Recipe is a page-turning delight. Filled with multi-generational family drama, memorable characters, and delicious food, Huynh's latest is a timely, globe-trotting literary feast you won't want to end."-- J. Ryan Stradal, New York Times bestselling author of Kitchens of the Great Midwest

Synopsis"Delightful....A funny yet poignant tale of one family's search for belonging and understanding." --Charmaine Wilkerson, New York Times bestselling author From the author of the "sharp, smart, and gloriously extra" (Nancy Jooyoun Kim, New York Times bestselling author) Good Morning America Book Club Pick The Fortunes of Jaded Women , a stunning family dramedy about estranged siblings competing to inherit their father's Vietnamese sandwich franchise and unravel family mysteries. Duc Tran, the eccentric founder of the Vietnamese sandwich chain Duc's Sandwiches, has decided to retire. No one has heard from his wife, Evelyn, in two decades. She abandoned the family without a trace, and clearly doesn't want anything to do with Duc, the business, or their kids. But the money has to go to someone. With the help of the shady family lawyer, Duc informs his five estranged adult children that to receive their inheritance, his four daughters must revitalize run-down shops in old-school Little Saigon locations across America: Houston, San Jose, New Orleans, and Philadelphia--within a year. But if the first-born (and only) son, Jude, gets married first, everything will go to him. Each daughter is stuck in a new city, battling gentrification, declining ethnic enclaves, and messy love lives, while struggling to modernize their father's American dream. Jude wonders if he wants to marry for love or for money--or neither. As Duc's children scramble to win their inheritance, they begin to learn the real intention behind the inheritance scheme--and the secret their mother kept tucked away in the old fishing tackle box, all along. The Family Recipe is about rediscovering one's roots, different types of fatherly love, legacy, and finding a place in a divided country where the only commonality among your neighbors is the universal love of sandwiches.
