A bittersweet story of the perfect but impossible love, arranged up against the teeming, complicated energy and invisible dangers of modern-day China. Miranda Graham, a clothing artist and the widowed mom of two teenagers, travels to China to work with the factories that will produce her designs. Sheltered, uncertain of herself, Miranda has always remained near to her parents and her home. Initially stressed by the chaotic foreignness of China, she soon discovers what she never expected or could have believed possible: a separate, all-consuming love. Yuan Li, kid of a Chinese mom and an American soldier, got his family transformed upside down by the Cultural Trend. Now, in the new China, he has a large and successful engineering company. What begins as a companionship based on attention and fascination soon blossoms into a love affair passionate enough to topple the social wall that divides them. They spend every available second together until the realities of China - an intrusive government, corrupt businessmen, and Li's wildly ambitious kid - test their love in the crucible of politics, nationality, and family loyalties.
