Description
A powerful and emotional tale of family, loyalty, and survival set against the backdrop of early Maoist China. When nine-year-old San San and her brother Ah Liam discover their grandmother's secret, it sets in motion a chain of events that will change their lives forever. As they flee their home on Drum Wave Islet, they must confront the harsh realities of life under the Party's rule. The government's conditions for safe passage to Hong Kong prove impossible to meet, leaving them with an agonizing decision: which child will be left behind? Against this heart-wrenching backdrop, a father and mother struggle to find redemption in a world torn apart by ideology and fear. Kirstin Chen's masterful storytelling brings this pivotal moment in history to life, exploring the complexities of family, loyalty, and survival in the face of overwhelming adversity.
