Description: The author of the classic "Thousand Pieces of Gold" returns with an uplifting novel of the real heroines of China's Pearl River Delta--young girls who, in the 19th century, fought and won a battle for economic and personal independence that changed the future for thousands of others.
Review Quotes: "Ruthanne Lum McCunn's new novel The Moon Pearl is filled with the heart and songs of old China. Wonderfully researched, it is the vivid and courageous tale of three Chinese girls, who struggle against all odds, to forge the beginnings of a powerful silk sisterhood in nineteenth-century China. It is a lovely addition to the growing stories of women who have found the strength to discover new lives."
--Gail Tsukiyama, author of The Language of Threads
