About this listen
Daiyu is the orphaned daughter of a once influential, now missing, family. Alone and on the streets, she must rely on her wits to discover what happened to her family.
But when Daiyu is kidnapped and smuggled from China to America, she relinquishes the future she imagined.
Over the years that follow, she is forced to reinvent herself to survive. From a calligraphy school to a San Francisco brothel, to a shop tucked into the Idaho mountains of the Wild West, we follow Daiyu on a desperate quest to outrun the tragedy that chases her. As anti-Chinese sentiment sweeps across the country in a wave of unimaginable violence, Daiyu must draw on each of the selves she has been—including the ones she most wants to leave behind—in order to finally claim her own name and story.

Possible spoilers in this comment just a heads up
I have just finished this book and now I’m trying to piece my soul back together after this book absolutely destroyed me,
I was just so engrossed in the story that I didn’t realise I was so close to end until it was upon me as I rode home on my bike from work,
I’m not sure if you’ve ever tried to cycle home through peak traffic in Melbourne Australia but it’s already pretty life and death, I didn’t need a curtain of unstoppable tears to add into the mix,
I want to say this story was fantastic but that is not the right way to describe it.
Maybe awesome is a better fit because I am in awe of the horrific and devastating history this book tells, the author has me in awe with her skills, the narrator was exactly what this character needed to reach out of this book and into my eyes,
I can see the barrel with the coal and the little tiny face
I can see the humans as they swing and I can hear the tightening of the rope as it takes the weight of its burden.
I wish I could unsee it because it makes it hard to remember not all humans are bad humans but this is a story that needs to be told
This is a history that needs to be remembered.
Acknowledged.
I wish I could change it
But I can’t so we need to hear it, to learn from it.
…will we learn from it?

Will white America ever understand the world?
Will China?
Another expose of the worlds men being unable to rule over other men, following false gods
