Betsy Ruscoe, a single university professor in her mid-30s, is pregnant, and the man she thought she loved is not interested in fatherhood. At the same time, her dying mother begs Betsy to find the woman who gave her up for adoption at birth 50 years ago and then disappeared. Betsy struggles to cope with the changes in her life as she also sets out on a quest to uncover her mother's surprising history.

Critic reviews

"Written with sensitivity and skill, Family Matters displays the novelist’s eye for the telling detail combined with a wider vision of a character's place within her family, her community, her culture." (The New York Times Book Review)
"A smashing first novel.... It was an easy task to read it in one sitting. Heartily recommended!" (Library Journal)
