Description
For over fifty years, Winnie and Helen have shared a profound bond, built on a foundation of deeply guarded secrets. Now, as Helen faces her mortality, she contemplates revealing their hidden past, forcing Winnie to confront her own buried truths. Driven by a fierce maternal instinct, Winnie resolves to tell her daughter, Pearl, the full story, including a devastating revelation that even Helen is unaware of. This narrative unfolds through Winnie's poignant recollections, tracing her journey from a small island near Shanghai in the 1920s through the tumultuous years of World War II, ultimately leading to her arrival in America in 1949.
