Answering an unexpected call to faith in her thirties, Melody Gee contends with what saying “yes†to conversion requires of an adopted daughter of Chinese immigrants. The essays explore the parallels between conversion and language acquisition, isolated liturgies, cultural inheritances, stalled initiations, disrupted storytelling, and adoption.
