Description
A young American girl's identity is tested by two decades of societal discrimination and maternal betrayal as she navigates life in China. Born on the eve of the Communist takeover, she faces challenges that shape her experiences in the Xinjiang region and beyond. As part of an unusual mission, she travels through the Taklamakan Desert, forging friendships with the Uyghur inhabitants and facing the Soviet army. Her determination to maintain her American identity and secure her citizenship leads her to contact the U.S. Liaison Office in Beijing, paving the way for her eventual return to the United States. With her knowledge of Communist China rare in the U.S. at the time, she becomes a sought-after resource by government offices and private businesses. Her journey takes her full circle as she marries an American diplomat and looks to the future with optimism.
