Description
Set against the backdrop of 1920s China and America, Paper Wife is a heart-wrenching tale of resilience and determination.
Mei Ling's journey to secure her future takes an unexpected turn when she is forced to pretend to be a widower's first wife in order to enter the United States. On board, she forms a bond with an orphan girl named Siew, who becomes her unlikely companion on the perilous voyage to San Francisco.
As Mei Ling navigates the challenges of her new life, including a marriage that is not what she expected and a desperate struggle to protect an innocent child from exploitation, she must confront the harsh realities of her situation and find a way to build a real family, no matter how fragile its foundation may be.
