This month, Ethel will lead a discussion on The Tea Girl of Hummingbird Lane by Lisa See. The novel follows Li-yan, an Akha woman from a remote mountain village in China, as she navigates tradition, love, and the tea trade, ultimately leading her to search for her daughter, Haley, who was given up for adoption in America.
