Jobless with a PhD, Lee Lien profits home to her Chicago suburb from grad school, only to find herself contending with issues she's evaded since university. However when her brother disappears, he leaves behind an object from other mother's Vietnam history that stirs up a overlooked childhood wish: a gold-leaf brooch, abandoned by an American reporter in Saigon back in 1965, that could be an heirloom owned by Laura Ingalls Wilder. As Lee explores the tenuous facts of the interconnection, she unearths more than expected - a trail of clues and enticements that lead her from the dusty stacks of collection archives to amusing prairie life reenactments and in the end to San Francisco, where her conclusions will transform strangers' lives as well as her own.
