Dreams of joy
Reeling from newly uncovered family secrets, and anger at her mother and aunt for keeping them from her, Joy runs away to Shanghai in early 1957 to find her birth father - the artist Z.G. Li, with whom both May and Pearl were once in love. Devastated by Joy's flight and terrified for her safety, Pearl is determined to save her daughter. From the crowded city to remote villages, Pearl confronts old demons and insurmountable challenges as she follows Joy, hoping for reconciliation. Even as Joy's and Pearl's separate journeys converge, one of the most tragic episodes in China's history threatens their lives
