Though surrounded by her loving family and their close-knit Chinatown community, Jane feels like a colossal failure. Writing fortunes is a kind of poetry, but Jane is penning words of wisdom for strangers while wondering if she will ever have the guts to move on with her life. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eWhen Jane meets medical student Sutton St. James at her local noodle shop, sparks fly. Sutton stands at a career crossroads: surgical residency or stem cell research overseas? The first is what her father, former Surgeon General and \"America's doctor,\" has planned for her, but the latter might help find a cure for her mother's debilitating MS. Neither would make either of them comfortable with their daughter's sexuality. Sutton's only certainty is that she has no time for a relationship--yet neither she nor Jane can deny the chemistry between them. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eJane opens a whole new view of family to Sutton, a powerful counter to Sutton's cold, sterile upbringing. Sutton inspires Jane to be more ambitious and to dream again--and challenges her to have faith in herself. But can Sutton and Jane overcome a scandalous secret that threatens to keep them apart?","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":68332466110687,"sku":"9780765383792","price":18.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0813\/8958\/4607\/files\/NW4eEfnF2g9780765383792.webp?v=1793235109","url":"https:\/\/blackandbarhe.com\/products\/confucius-jane-paperback","provider":"Black \u0026 Barhe Bookstore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
