NATIONAL BESTSELLER - In a powerful debut about modern-day motherhood, immigration, and identity, a pregnant Chinese woman stakes a claim to the American dream in California. "Utterly absorbing."--Celeste Ng - "A marvel of a first novel."--O: The Oprah Magazine - "The most eye-opening literary adventure of the year."--Entertainment Weekly NAMED ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR BY The Washington Post - NPR - Real Simple Holed up with other mothers-to-be in a secret maternity home in Los Angeles, Scarlett Chen is far from her native China, where she worked in a factory and fell in love with the married owner, Boss Yeung. Now she's carrying his baby. To ensure that his child--his first son--has every advantage, Boss Yeung has shipped Scarlett off to give birth on American soil. As Scarlett awaits the baby's arrival, she spars with her imperious housemates. The only one who fits in even less is Daisy, a spirited, pregnant teenager who is being kept apart from her American boyfriend. Then a new sonogram of Scarlett's baby reveals the unexpected. Panicked, she goes on the run by hijacking a van--only to discover that she has a stowaway: Daisy, who intends to track down the father of her child. The two flee to San Francisco's bustling Chinatown, where Scarlett will join countless immigrants desperately trying to seize their piece of the American dream. What Scarlett doesn't know is that her baby's father is not far behind her. A River of Stars is a vivid examination of home and belonging and a moving portrayal of a woman determined to build her own future. Praise for A River of Stars "Vanessa Hua's story spins with wild fervor, with charming protagonists fiercely motivated by maternal and survival instincts."--USA Today "A River of Stars is the best of all worlds: part buddy cop adventure, part coming-of-age story and part ode to female friendship."--NPR "Hua's epic A River of Stars follows a pair of pregnant Chinese immigrant women--two of the more vibrant characters I've come across in a while--on the lam from Los Angeles to San Francisco's Chinatown."--R. O. Kwon, author of The Incendiaries, in Esquire "A delightful novel of motherhood and Chinese immigration . . . Without wading into policy debates, Ms Hua dramatises the stories and contributions of immigrants who believe in grand ideals and strive to live up to them."--The EconomistBinding Type: Paperback

Ok
Flavor Name: Bacon, Size: Medium
Not for powerful chewers. Did not hold up to Corso pup or Belgian Malinois.

None of the dogs are interested
Flavor Name: Bacon, Size: Medium
My Mini Schnauzer wasn’t at all interested, and she usually at least explores a new toy a little. I even tried rubbing food on it.
I washed it & gave it to my brother who has a Belgian Malinois (?) & it was a no go. We rescued a Goldendoodle & she won’t even hold it in her mouth if I hand it to her.
My guess is that the toy is too heavy & the rubber has an off putting smell. This one got 3 strikes from not very picky dogs.

Great for a medium chewer!
Flavor Name: Bacon, Size: Medium
Bought this for my Standard Poodle. He's a year old, 65 pounds, and loves to chew but doesn't have the jaw strength of some of my previous dogs (I think my pit bull would have destroyed this in short order!). This works well for him; it's his favorite toy for fetching. It bounces in an unpredictable manner when you throw it so he has fun chasing and retrieving it. It is heavy so be careful throwing it in the house! I like these shapes better than balls that will roll far under things and be difficult to retrieve. I don't know that I would leave him alone with it in case he did chew a piece off, but for monitored play I highly recommend. I'll definitely buy more if these ever wear out but I don't see that happening in the near future!

Smells like rubber.
Flavor Name: Bacon, Size: Medium
I bought this flavored nylabone for my dog because he had one that he just loved and it finally had to be thrown out. So I bought him this one and he won't even chew on it. All it smells like is rubber. No flavor smell AT ALL. But our other dog chews anything and he chews this so I kept it. I won't buy nylabone again.

Super chewer approved
Flavor Name: Peanut Butter, Size: Large
One of the few safe chewy bones for a super chewer. Very durable, an appropriate price, and a good size for our 70lb pitty.
