Digging to America by Anne Tyler

Actually started this book as a Book on CD on a long drive. After listening to 60% of the book, the next disc was scratched which was devastating with hours left in the drive and a serious connection to the characters. I am not normally a fan of books on CD, but this is a good one. This was my introduction to Anne Tyler and I am very much looking forward to reading more of her novels.

The story of international adoption and the story of two families dealing with their new babies is a beautiful discussion of culture, family, love and "American". I would highly recommend this book, although I will warn you that you may not be able to get anything else accomplished after you start it.
