But Grace Park and Shawn Matthews have their own problems. Grace is sheltered and largely oblivious, living in the Valley with her Korean-immigrant parents, working long hours at the family pharmacy. She’s distraught that her sister hasn’t spoken to their mother in two years, for reasons beyond Grace’s understanding. Shawn has already had enough of politics and protest after an act of violence shattered his family years ago. He just wants to be left alone to enjoy his quiet life in Palmdale.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBut when another shocking crime hits LA, both the Park and Matthews families are forced to face down their history while navigating the tumult of a city on the brink of more violence.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eReview(s):\u003cbr\u003e“A marvel.

A dramatic page-turner . . . A deep dive into Los Angeles’ racial underbelly and tensions. It’s a timely book that showcases two cultures and two families forced to confront injustice, enduring anger, and profound loss.”\u003cbr\u003e“Impassioned. . . . [Cha] dives so deep into her characters because she believes that communicating their nuances across racial lines is essential. . . . A page-turner.”\u003cbr\u003e“Intricately structured. . . . A novel rich with incident and social observation.” \u003cbr\u003e“A mastery of form, Cha absolutely nails it. . . . It is absolutely brilliant and it keeps the pages turning.” \u003cbr\u003e“Elegant, suspenseful.” \u003cbr\u003e“A propulsive, well-told, and most important of all, well-researched journey of two families. . . . Cha’s writing is memorable and often poetic.” \u003cbr\u003e“Riveting. . . . Engrossing. . . . Cha unflinchingly delves into the complex emotions that drive families, violence, and the need to survive.  Your House Will Pay sets a new high for the talented Cha.”\u003cbr\u003e“Compelling and risk-taking. . . . That Cha is drawn to contend with voices that don’t strictly represent her cultural heritage, while taking head-on one of the most devastating events in Los Angeles history, is admirable as well as ambitious. Cha is a remarkably generous writer.”\u003cbr\u003e\"Bracing.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eISBN:  9780062868848\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e ","brand":"Ecco","offers":[{"title":"Paperback \/ softback","offer_id":41131095425230,"sku":"9780062868848","price":17.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0600\/7029\/7806\/products\/9780062868848.jpg?v=1650433771","url":"https:\/\/pickwickbookshop.com\/products\/9780062868848","provider":"Pickwick Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
