The Jade Pendant
Fleeing an arranged marriage in China, Peony accepts a contract to work as a "flower girl" in America, where she meets Tom, an American-born Chinese cook whose father works on the Transcontinental Railroad. Theirs is the story of the first great Chinese immigration to the United States – a story of romance, bigotry, passion, food, and the search for everlasting love – set against the largest mass lynching in American history, in Los Angeles' Chinatown, in 1871.
