Synopsis（梗概）：
“Lydia is dead. But they don't know this yet... ” So begins the , story of this novel, about a Chinese American family living in 1970s small-town Ohio. Lydia is the favorite child of Marilyn and James Lee; their middle- daughter, a girl who inherited her mother's bright blue eye and her father's jet-black hair. Her parents are determined that Lydia will fulfill the dreams they were unable to pursue----in Marilyn's case that her daughter should become a doctor rather than a homemaker, in James's case that Lydia should be popular at school, a girl with a busy social life and the center of every party.
When Lydia's body is found in the local lake, the balancing act that has been keeping the Lee family together falls into chaos, forcing them to confront the long-kept secrets that have been slowly pulling them apart. James, consumed by guilt, sets out on a reckless path that may destroy his marriage. Marilyn, is determined to find a responsible party, no matter what the cost is. Lydia's older brother, Nathan, is certain that the neighborhood bad boy Jack is somehow involved. But it's the youngest of the family--- Hannab who observes far more than anyone realizes and who may be the only one who knows the truth about what happened.
A profoundly moving story of family, history, and the meaning of home, Everything I Never Told You is both a good page-turner and a sensitive family portrait, exploring the divisions between cultures and the conflicts within a family, and uncovering the ways in which mothers and daughters, fathers and sons, and husbands and wives struggle, all their lives, to understand one another.

The world is full of great books, just waiting to be read. How can you pick one you'll really like? Here are some tips：
Depend on your hobby. If you have a favorite hobby, look for books about that activity. 1. You're more likely to enjoy reading a book if you're already interested in its subject.
Choose fiction or nonfiction. 2. Those are called fiction books. These books can transport you to another world or help you imagine something beyond your own experience. Nonfiction books tell stories using facts, but that doesn't mean they're boring. Nonfiction books can bring to life everything from the first trip to the moon to what it's like to explore the deepest oceans.
3. Your local library is a great place to find books that you love. Tell a librarian about your interests, and the librarian can help you find other books that you're sure to love. Your teacher is another good person to ask.
Find a family favorite. What was your mother’s favorite book when she was your age? What's about your father's? Ask them and give it a read. Then you can talk about what they like about it and share your thoughts. 4.
Launch a book exchange. 5. It's always fun to see what your friends arc reading. Even if they're not exactly bookworms, you can all encourage each other to read and share books and authors you like. You also can look for book exchanges in your area. It's a great way to build your personal library for free!
A. Ask someone for help.
B. Learn to be a professional.
C. You should read as many books as possible.
D. Some books are entirely made up and imagined.
E. You can find books about almost anything you like.
F. It’s a fun way to get to know your family a little better.
G. Why not get some friends together and exchange favorite books?
