As a child growing up in Taiwan, Jane was indoctrinated in the
culture of "The Twenty-Four Filial Exemplars." The exemplars were
glorified by just how far they would go to sacrifice for and honor
their parents. But Jane was born in a different era. She had to
look for other ways to show that she was worthy of being a
daughter. So she gave up her free will. She behaved how she was
told to behave; she thought what she was told to think. Jane was
told that no matter how "American families" acted, she was part of
a Chinese family. She would abide by Chinese family rules. She
obeyed and kept the rage of a little girl locked deep within
herself. Until one day, the little girl could no longer contain the
rage inside. Jane had to make a choice: Stay as her parents'
daughter or reclaim her free will - and her will to live. This is
an unflinching first-person account of emotional abuse and
depression written as a mosaic of prose and essays. It tells of the
dreams that unleashed the ghosts of the past, hymns of human
resilience in the face of generations of domestic violence, and a
long-awaited homecoming to the Self.
