Product Description(Amazon)
Ruth Young and her widowed mother, LuLing, have always had a tumultuous relationship. Now, before she succumbs to forgetfulness, LuLing gives Ruth some of her writings, which reveal a side of LuLing that Ruth has never known. . . .
In a remote mountain village where ghosts and tradition rule, LuLing grows up in the care of her mute Precious Auntie as the family endures a curse laid upon a relative known as the bonesetter. When headstrong LuLing rejects the marriage proposal of the coffinmaker, a shocking series of events are set in motion–all of which lead back to Ruth and LuLing in modern San Francisco. The truth that Ruth learns from her mother’s past will forever change her perception of family, love, and forgiveness.

MY THOUGHTS: This is my book club's choice for September. I've read this author before....and I must say, I don't really care for her books. Way too much info and the story seems to drag on forever. I got about half way through the book and gave up. If you like this kind of book it's readable, but it wasn't for me.....I give this book 2......
