Description

ADULT READING. A poor, naïve girl living on a Chinese junk is seduced into prostitution at the age of 14, falls in love with her first client, becomes pregnant and throws him out of her life.

She yearns for the desire to achieve not only love, education and wealth, but also the opportunity to serve her community and country.

The heroine, Mei Lai, faces the complexities and challenges of life, death, and even murder. Her toddler son is injured in a landslide, is kidnapped and adopted by an American couple traveling in mainland China.

Mei Lai earns a law degree, travels to the U.S., marries a Chinese-American and gives birth to a daughter.

Sub-plots involve family and friends as Mei Lai finds her son who marries her daughter. The reader feels the agony of the consequences if the young couple learns the truth of having the same mother.
