I loved this book.  I knew a little of the information regarding girls kidnapped from China and brought to the brothels of San Francisco, but this taught me so much more.  What I didn't realize was how many Chinese came to Idaho in the late 1800s.  The second half of the book takes place in Pierce, Idaho (where my own great-grandfather, grandfather, and grandmother homesteaded starting in 1917.)

The author wove together the story of Daiyu and calligraphy (the four treasures).  While this book would probably be a good listen, you would miss something by not being able to see the Chinese characters as the author describes their meaning.

This book will break your heart and stay with you after you finish reading it.
