But, above all, [it's a] story of a family and a nation grappling with the nuances of complicity and survival, raising the question: how far would you be willing to go for the ones you love?"--Dust jacket flap. February 28, 1947. Trapped inside the family home amid an uprising that has rocked Taipei, Dr. Tsai delivers his youngest daughter, our narrator, just as the city is plunged into martial law. Dr. Tsai is dragged away from his family, thrown into prison, and returns after more than a decade. Years later, this troubled past follows his daughter to the United States where, as a mother and a wife, she too is forced to decide between what is right and what might save her family.   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status Due Date   Aiea Public Library Adult Fiction Ryan Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Aina Haina Public Library Adult Fiction Ryan Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Hawaii State Library Adult Fiction Ryan Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Kailua-Kona Public Library Adult Fiction Ryan Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Kaimuki Public Library Adult Fiction Ryan Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Lihue Public Library Adult Fiction Ryan Checked In   Add Copy to MyList McCully-Moiliili Public Library Adult Fiction Ryan Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Mililani Public Library Adult Fiction Ryan Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Waikiki-Kapahulu Public Library Adult New Books Ryan Checked out 06/12/2024 Add Copy to MyList
