Pearl and May are 2, young, carefree girls living in Shanghai, the Paris of Asia, in 1937. That is until their father gambles away their savings and sells the girls to be brides to Americans who have traveled to China for Chinese brides.
As the war expands, Pearl and May's lives are turned upside down and they must do everything they can to survive. The story follows them from Shanghai to the United States over the course of about 20 years.
I loved the story of Pearl and May, even though it was heartbreaking to see them go through the trials and tribulations that they went through, even after coming to the US. I'm looking forward to the follow up book, Dreams of Joy.
