After the deaths of her parents, 12-year-old Chou Spring Pearl is taken into the home of her father’s wealthy benefactor. Unlike most Cantonese girls, Spring Pearl has learned to read and write, but she must now learn a new skill-how to survive in Master Sung’s hostile household. While the Second Opium War rages in the streets and harbor of Canton, Spring Pearl faces battles of her own.
