It begins with a mystery. Sylvie, the beautiful, brilliant, successful older daughter of the Lee family, flies to the Netherlands to visit her dying grandmother—and then vanishes.Amy Lee is too young to remember a time when her parents were newly immigrated and too poor to keep her sister. Seven years older, Sylvie was raised by a foreign relative and didn’t rejoin her family in America until she was nine. Amy has always looked up to her fierce and loving sister. But what happened to Sylvie? When Amy retraces her sister’s movements, instead of simple answers, she discovers something much more valuable: the truth. Sylvie, the golden girl, kept painful secrets . . . secrets that will reveal more about Amy’s complicated family—and herself—than she ever could have imagined.A deeply moving story of family, secrets, and identity, Searching for Sylvie Lee is a profound exploration of the many ways culture can divide us and the impossibility of ever truly knowing someone—especially those we love.
