Overview: "Water is fluid, soft, yielding. But water will wear away rock... what is soft is strong." —Lao TzuIn 1920s Detroit, King Ying lives in a small apartment behind her parents' laundry business, where she stands on a box to iron clothes, endures taunts of "Ching-Ching Chinaman" on the playground, and tries to reconcile what passes for normal in Jazz Age America with her father's vastly different cultural values.She dreams of a real home, the elegance of her Jane Arden paper dolls, and winning her stern father's affection. But when Ba incurs steep debts during the Great Depression, he sends her far from hope to live in his ancestral village.In remote Tai Ting Pong, in the Guangdong Province of China, she feels as foreign in the land of her heritage as in the country of her birth. She must survive hunger, dangerous superstitions, and Japanese invasion as the Sino-Japanese War begins.When guardian angels help her return to the U.S., it's a chance to seize her American dream. In this inspiring and heartfelt memoir, Karin K. Jensen records her mother's transpacific quest for identity, survival, and new world dreams.About the AuthorKarin K.
