Lauren J. Sharkeys masterfully plotted portrait of Rowan, a smart and willful young woman in wild rebellion against the life shes been handed, is so raw and honest, written with such passion and heart, you turn the pages rooting for her to love herself as much as the reader and her indomitable adopted mother do. Inconvenient Daughter delivers this and so much more.
--Beverly Donofrio, author of Astonished: A Story of Healing and Finding Grace

Lauren J. Sharkeys emotionally searing novel chronicles its heroines quest to forge her true self. Deeply felt and intensely written, Inconvenient Daughter speaks to the need we all have to find our place in the world, our place of belonging and acceptance. This is a powerful and stunning literary debut.
--Sue William Silverman, author of Love Sick: One Womans Journey through Sexual Addiction

Steel, raw love, and rage forge the relationships between Rowan Kelly and her family. Inconvenient Daughter illuminates with cutting truth the layers of longing and grief which underlie a transracial adoption. Author Lauren J. Sharkey shines a light on how the truth of being loved and belonging can transcend the construct of biology. Sharkey provides heart-rending insight that never dips into false sentimentality, wrapped in a sharply written, intense, and page-turning novel. I simply loved this book.
--Randy Susan Meyers, bestselling author of Waisted

Rare is the book willing to confess how essential belonging is, to detail the myriad ways we both seek it and suffer from its absence. Readers will discover in Sharkeys prose a truth few authors have the honesty to acknowledge or the courage to reveal.
--Kevin Clouther, author of We Were Flying to Chicago

Rowan Kelly knows shes lucky. After all, if she hadnt been adopted, she could have spent her days in a rice paddy, or a windowless warehouse assembling iPhones--they make iPhones in Korea, right? Either way, slowly dying of boredom on Long Island is surely better than the alternative. But as she matures, she realizes that shell never know if she has her mothers eyes, or if shed be in America at all had her adoptive parents been able to conceive.

Rowan sets out to prove that she can be someones first choice. After running away from home--and her parents rules--and ending up beaten, barefoot, and topless on a Pennsylvania street courtesy of Bad Boy Number One, Rowan attaches herself to Never-Going-to-Commit. When that doesnt work out, she fully abandons self-respect and begins browsing Craigslist personals. But as Rowan dives deeper into the world of casual encounters with strangers, she discovers what shes really looking for.

With a fresh voice and a quick wit, Lauren J. Sharkey dispels the myths surrounding transracial adoption, the ties that bind, and what it means to belong.
