Elegantly textured, encompassing several voices
and intricately woven plot lines, Gift of the Golden
Mountain is the story of a family s passions, past
and present, played out against the explosive
Vietnam era in San Francisco and Berkeley,
Hawaii, China and finally the fall of Saigon in 1975.
It chronicles the odyssey of a young, part-Chinese
heiress, May Reade, as she searches through her
illustrious heritage for the roots of her own identity
and her struggle to reconcile her Asian self with
the American. That journey will take her from the
antiwar barricades in Berkeley to the primitive
villages of a strange and distant land, from confu-
sion and hurt to self-knowledge and love.
Gift of the Golden Mountain is the continuing
story of California s prominent Reade family first
chronicled in the author s best-selling novel Hers
the Kingdom. May s American father, a famous
radical, died when she was thirteen; her beautiful
but mysteriously heartbroken Chinese mother suf-
fered a loss of face that forced her to abandon
Meijin soon after her birth. Throughout her life
May has been haunted by the question Why did
my mother leave me? May longs for resolution at
any price, and she risks her life to meet her mother.
