En 'Digging to America', Anne Tyler nos presenta una historia sobre lo que significa ser estadounidense, a través de la vida de Maryam Yazdan, una mujer de origen iraní que, tras 35 años en Estados Unidos, se enfrenta a su condición de 'extranjera'. Dos familias, los Donaldson y los Yazdan, se conocen en el aeropuerto de Baltimore mientras esperan la llegada de sus hijas adoptadas de Corea. A partir de este encuentro fortuito, sus vidas se entrelazan, celebrando cada año una 'fiesta de llegada'. Maryam, a pesar de su independencia, se ve involucrada en esta dinámica, pero cuando un miembro de los Donaldson la corteja, sus valores y tradiciones se ven amenazados.
