Starred review. Bestselling author Sandra Byrd blends romance, laughter, community and family secrets in her novel Heirlooms, a delightful story of uplifting female friendships. . . . With warmth and sensitivity, Heirlooms examines the challenges faced by immigrants living in the U.S., and the difficulties for women seeking health care and financial security for both themselves and their children throughout American history. Readers will marvel at the strength found in community and the deep connections that can exist between generations.--BookPage

Starred review. Byrd ("Daughters of Hampshire" series) delivers a crossover hit for fans of Susie Finkbeiner and Cynthia Ruchti. This is women's fiction as it is meant to be written with intriguing characters making decisions that ripple through generations. This is also a timely pick featuring the story of an Asian immigrant and her descendants facing both struggles and triumphs while creating community in the U.S.--Library Journal

Starred Review. Four women discover that family comes in many forms in this gorgeous saga from Byrd (Lady of a Thousand Treasures). . . . Lush and vivid prose brings the setting to life ("The white-petaled daisies and their cousins, fainting gerberas, competed in the midsummer beauty pageant for the nearby bachelor's buttons' affections"), and Helen and Eunhee's friendship will melt hearts. This is a gem.--Publishers Weekly
