More about the book

Set against the backdrop of the 1849 Gold Rush, the narrative follows Polly, a young Chinese concubine who is lost in a poker game and taken to a remote Idaho ranch. As the Gold Rush fades, Polly's story unfolds, highlighting the experiences of Chinese immigrants in America and the emergence of San Francisco's Chinatown. This account not only captures the struggles and resilience of Polly but also reflects the broader impact of Chinese culture in the American West, culminating in her remarkable reemergence decades later to share her extraordinary journey.
