China, 1938: Meilin, and her young son Renshu, flee their burning city as Japanese forces advance. On the perilous journey that follows, across a China transformed by war, they find comfort and wisdom in their most treasured possession, a beautifully illustrated hand scroll filled with ancient fables . . .
Spanning continents and generations, Peach Blossom Spring is a bold and moving story about the haunting power of the past, the sacrifices made to protect one's children, and a family's search for a place to call home.
"A beautifully rendered meditation on the trials and triumphs of a family torn apart by war, Peach Blossom Spring left me pondering how the stories we choose to pass down have the power not only to define us, but to buoy us and to help us persevere through the most challenging of times.” -- Georgia Hunter, bestselling author of We Were the Lucky Ones
