"Majestic, compelling... a sweeping saga in the truest sense." - Lisa See, author of On Gold Mountain and Snow Flower and the Secret Fan

Northern California, 1906.  Hope Newfield was young and headstrong, teaching English to foreign students. Liang Po-yu was an idealistic Chinese scholar-revolutionary, intent on bringing modern democracy to his imperial homeland. When the Great Earthquake came, they rescued each other...and fell desperately in love. And at a time when it was illegal to shoot livestock in California but not Chinese, Hope and Paul dared to defy blatant bigotry, marry, and start a family. But in the coming years, as they move from San Francisco to China and start to raise a family, their love is tested by prejudice, by revolution, by conflicting loyalties, and their own drastically different traditions.

Spanning decades and cultures, this is the epic story of forbidden passion between an American woman and a Chinese man and the tremendous obstacles they must overcome.
