The Outer Country by Davin Malasarn (Hardcover)

The Outer Country is the debut novel of Davin Malasarn, a story about family bonds and the secrets that strain them. Sisters Manda and Siripon have lived on different continents for years, ever since their parents in Phet Buri chose to send the younger, more obedient Siripon to America instead of Manda. The resulting rivalry has kept them apart, until the birth of Siripon's son brings the sisters back into each other's lives.
