After leaving China, friends Winnie Liu and Helen Kwon found a new homeland in the USA. For more than fifty years, women have kept each other's shameful secrets, but now Helen, sensing the approach of death, is going to pull the decayed skeletons out of the closet. However, it is unbearable for Winnie to think that her critical daughter Pearl learns her mother's secrets from someone else's lips. And an elderly woman decides to tell her daughter about her past, including the terrible truth that even Helen does not know. Thus begins the story of Jiang Weili about her happy childhood and bitter youth, a terrible marriage and countless sufferings. And also about her thirst for life, courage and love, which brought the young Chinese woman to America in 1949.
