“Engaging and empowering.” —STARRED review, Nonstop Reader A charming early chapter book series that explores Vietnamese culture and identity through the eyes of the Nguyen siblings, with elements of the supernatural, spirituality, and social justice woven in. Organized and introspective nine-year-old Anne Nguyen misses her Grandma Nội, a lot. But even though Grandma Nội passed away, it doesn’t mean she’s disappeared. When Anne and her younger siblings Jacob and Liz are given gifts passed on to them by Grandma, Anne soon realizes that hers—a beautiful jade bangle—has a secret power. One that might just give her the strength to stand up to her ballet teacher, who treats her differently than her white classmates, and embrace her Vietnamese identity through cooking Grandma’s recipes. No matter how difficult things get, Anne learns that the love of her ancestors is always with her.

Seyfried has an inexorable skillfulness for seeing the miracle within the mundane. The real gift in reading In Discovery allows a reader to open up a new package with every chapter. The author's insights into her daily life discloses the connecting points between all of us, and how the God of the universe really does care for each of us. I appreciated how the topics in the book unfold in the way our lives do for us-one choice tidbit at a time, and an opportunity to learn and grow from each new insight. Parents and grandparents will especially treasure her playful, humorous, and always heartfelt style as her latest submission is simply a joy to read. -Daniel D. Maurer, award-winning author and former ELCA pastor, Saint Paul, Minnesota These essays are a delight! They are sometimes humorous, sometimes profound and sometimes enlightening but always thought-provoking with her wise insights into the human spirit. They are worth reading over and over again. -Len Lear, Local Life editor, Chestnut Hill Local
