Title Soy sauce for beginners / Kirstin Chen.

In Gretchen's life, it seems as though every aspect is a battle: romance (her ex-husband vs. a new relationship); home (her life in San Francisco vs. the family home in Singapore); career (the music field vs. her family's artisinal soy sauce business). Even within the business there's a war going on. The relationship dynamics are well crafted, and the ending makes me think that there may be a sequel? A good story if you are interested in family stories and Asian culture.
