Description:

This is a powerful book about love, tragedy, and ties that bind immigrant familes. It's the story of four immigrant Chinese women and their American-born daughters. The moms arrived in San Francisco long ago as young adults, and while they love their now-adult daughters they often cannot understand them - the moms also remain reluctant to reveal parts of their tragic past in their still-beloved China. The four daughters are now in their 30's and also loving, but too Americanized to always understand their China-raised mothers. Are such sentiments universal among immigrants? We meet Lindo Jong, who'se over-bearing pride in her talented daughter Wavery creates problems. Ying-ying St. Clair left a bad husband in China, married an American out of respect but not affection, and is hurt to see her daughter Lena passively stuck in another loveless marraige. Perhaps most moving is Suyuan Woo, forced by war's circumstance to abandon baby twins in China in 1944 - if they are alive and can be located her American-born daughter Jing-mei "June" will have to meet them. This story describes the moms and the daughters, their loves, husbands, kids, careers, struggles, etc.
