So I am not going to sugar coat this book. It is disturbing. I am still disturbed by it and it has been 3-4 months since I read it. It is about two girls that grew up wealthy in Shanghai. However when china fell in 1937, the girls discover that their father has lost all their money to gambling and they are forced to flee china to the US with no resources. They experience trial after trial along the way. Only to go to the US and be bound to husbands they don't know or love. I love the history that this story brings to life. But it is disturbing, and terrible to imagine living through. This book also leaves you hanging. I am not sure if their is second, and even if their was I am not sure I could stomach it.
