Review
Ruthanne Lum McCunn's new novel "The Moon Pearl" is filled with the heart and songs of old China. Wonderfully researched, it is the vivid and courageous tale of three Chinese girls, who struggle against all odds, to forge the beginnings of a powerful silk sisterhood in nineteenth-century China. It is a lovely addition to the growing stories of women who have found the strength to discover new lives.--Gail Tsukiyama, author of "The Language of Threads"
