Three generations of women, reuniting to embark on a family tour of China, each bringing their own baggage containing individual secrets, hopes and dreams. Traveling together, yet apart, each women looking for something different. The story unfolds slowly, as secrets come to the surface, and the women discover their true selves and each other.

This is an excellent book that I would very highly recommend! The author portrayed the two wives and the husband in such a way that I could see each one, their situations, viewpoints and feelings very clearly. I really felt for these people. Knowing that this story was based on true events, I just couldn't put the book down!
This is a book that is absolutely unforgettable!

I love to read. . I'm never without a book or two - and I love to discover new authors. Many times I read a book and enjoy it, (or don't think much about it), then it is lost to my memory.

This is a book that I will never forget.

I was transported to a North Carolina logging camp in the depression era. This was a book of stark contrasts. The beauty of the land vs. it's stripped, harsh ugliness. The violent greed of ambitious people who will not let anybody get in their way. A needy young mother's selfless love. The evil of people who appeared to have everything. Love and hate, beauty and ugliness, greed and benevolence.

A beautifully written, action filled, emotion filled book.

A great book that you will read and remember.

This book took me to places that I've never been, and gave me a new understanding of the challenges some people have. The author related her feelings and experiences in an honest, heartfelt way. With a lump in my throat, I kept reading and rooting for this amazing woman.

I will certainly recommend this book to all my friends. Thank you.

This book painted a picture of a different time and place- with characters so vividly drawn that I had to remind myself this was fiction. The plot intensified as the story unfolded- I haven't read a book like this in years....romance, suspense, a different place and time in history.
