A young Chinese girl is "sold" to a wealthy family to raise money for her sick brother. The young girl, while in the care of her newly "adopted" family is brutalized by a visiting colleague of the patriarch of this family. The result is the birth of twin girls. The twin babies are immediately placed for adoption. An American couple adopts the girls, who grow up in Manhattan. Back in China, the "birth mother" blossoms into an intelligent young woman and falls in love with a young man she eventually discovers is more than he appears to be. As the birth mother's adopted twin girls grow up on another continent, one of them becomes deathly ill. The lines of what is a family become blurred and eventually, tragedy brings the disjointed families together in unexpected ways. This is a story filled with love, pathos, tragedy, and triumph.
