Fishbone Cinderella

Family history and folklore come together in this inspiring and heart-warming multi-generational saga with a dash of magic, from the New York Times bestselling author of Six Crimson Cranes.

A mother and daughter hide family secrets through war, immigration, love, betrayal, loss, and redemption, in an epic saga inspired by both Chinese folklore and Western fairy tale.  

1940s Hong Kong
Once there was a young girl who was sent to live with her coldhearted stepmother, who dreamt of a more beautiful and romantic life. And like the heroine of a magical tale, she has a secret talent: She can turn invisible.

But her talent can't protect her from tragedy and loss. Hong Kong does not hold her fairy tale ending, and so she embarks on a journey to faraway land: America.

1960s San Francisco
Helen's daughter Marigold also has a secret talent. She can sense the painful memories of others with a touch. But even this power hasn't helped her get closer to her mother, who has shared very little of her true past. 

To break the curse, they will have to come to understand each other.
Their story is a journey into their family's tragic legacy ... but also into the love and healing that will create a happily ever after for mother and daughter. 

Enchanting, transporting, and deeply moving, Fishbone Cinderella is a modern fairy tale about what it means to find home.
