Family-making in America is in a state of flux—the ways people compose their families is changing, including those who choose to adopt. Broken Links, Enduring Ties is a groundbreaking comparative investigation of transnational and interracial adoptions in America. Linda Seligmann uncovers the impact of these adoptions over the last twenty years on the ideologies and cultural assumptions that Americans hold about families and how they are constituted. Seligmann explores whether or not new kinds of families and communities are emerging as a result of these adoptions, providing a compelling narrative on how adoptive families thrive and struggle to create lasting ties. Seligmann observed and interviewed numerous adoptive parents and children, non-adoptive families, religious figures, teachers and administrators, and adoption brokers. The book uncovers that adoption—once wholly stigmatized—is now often embraced either as a romanticized mission of rescue or, conversely, as simply one among multiple ways to make a family.

In the novel from which all of bestselling author Arnette Lamb’s characters originated from, Lady Suisan Harper must choose between honor and passion as she begins to fall deeply for the man who nearly ruined her family’s weaving business. When Myles Cunningham steals the patterns of her family’s clan tartans, symbols of Scottish independence outlawed by the English king, and almost drives the family’s weaving business to ruins in the process, Lady Suisan Harper travels to London willing to risk her honor and her freedom to get them back. But when she arrives, Suisan can’t take her eyes off of the dangerously attractive man whose presence fills the candlelit room. The weak and indifferent boy she expected turns out to be a strong, hot, and hungry man. Using a false identity on her mission to recover the patterns, Myles believes she is only Maura, a saucy maid happy to share a wealthy man’s bed. But as Myles’ lips brush hers with fire, Suisan’s carefully woven thread of lies begins to unravel, and a silken strand of desire begins to bind her destiny to the irresistible man that is both her enemy and her beloved.
