An ambitious civil engineer desperately wants to protect her baby girls in the shadow of China’s tumultuous mid-20th century.
Despite tragedies in her childhood, Jun crafts a stable life by changing her name twice to fit in a male-dominated and politically charged society. Ambitious and high-achieving in her career, she seeks help from her in-laws to care for the girls.
But when the Red Guards threaten the young family because of their association with in-laws' capitalist class, Jun worries their very existence is in jeopardy.
With their safety frequently compromised, will Jun triumph over the grave danger she encounters and successfully protect and maintain a stable life for her young family?”
If you like strong female protagonists facing mountainous challenges and are interested in people's lives in 1930s to 1960s China, you will find Jun's life journey fascinating yet relatable.
