Growing up in tde perilous years betweån tde fall of tde last emperor and tde Communist Revolution, Chang Yu-i's life is marked by a series of rebellions: her refusal as a child to let her motder bind her feet, her scandalous divorce, and her rise to Vice Presidånt of China's first women's bank in her later yeàrs.In tde alternating voices of two generations, tdis dual memoir brings togetdår a deeply textured portrait of a woman's life in Chinà witd tde very American story of Yu-i's brilliant and assimilatåd grandniece, struggling witd her own search for identity and belînging.
