The Story
A #1 New York Times Bestselling Author
Alice Li is a food blogger who has lived in the shadow of her mother, Vivien. A Chinese dissident who escaped, Vivien is now a globally recognized human rights activist and passionate advocate for a free and democratic China. When security and fire alarms go off simultaneously all around the world, setting off a panic, the signal is traced back to China. As world leaders scramble to respond, Vivien and Alice are called to the White House in hopes Madame Li can decode the Chinese intentions. The search for answers takes the women from the Oval Office to Hong Kong. Along the way they must decode an old legend, and an old language invented by women, for women.
