“What begins as a missing person’s case shifts into a moving journey of one man’s reckoning with grief, loss, and personal fallibility. Evocative and elegiac, Foreign Seed casts a spell of quiet wonderment.”
– Chin-Sun Lee, author of Upcountry
“The story of one man's reckoning with history and himself. Alsup's Sokobin embarks on a sojourn that is rooted in his physical movement up the Yangtze River, though it is the way that journey forces him to traverse his own psyche that takes over. A read that will deliver a satisfying resolution for fans of fast-paced historical fiction.”
– Ru Freeman, author of Bon Courage: Essays on Inheritance, Citizenship, and a Creative Life
