Ruth Young's relationship with her mother LuLing, who was widowed, has never been easy. Ruth receives some of LuLing's writings today, before she passes away from amnesia, and they expose a side of LuLing that Ruth has never seen...
LuLing is raised by her silent Precious Auntie in a remote mountain hamlet where ghosts and customs reign. The family is cursed by a cousin known as the bonesetter. A startling chain of events begins when stubborn LuLing turns down the coffinmaker's marriage proposal; these occurrences ultimately lead back to Ruth and LuLing in contemporary San Francisco. Ruth's understanding of family, love, and forgiveness will be permanently altered by the reality she discovers from her mother's history.
