Traveling from the streets of New York City to northeast China, The Light of Eternal Spring follows on the trail of a young photographer who needs to reconcile with her dead mother before she is able to see the world again . . . 

Blending playful magical realism with the family balancing acts immigrant and artists know so well, in The Light of Eternal Spring Angel Di Zhang creates a nuanced portrait of family lost and family found, of the transformative power of art, and of the need to transform yourself in order to make art that's true. 

"Lyrical and surprising, The Light of Eternal Spring is an original and beautiful take on the power of home and family and the pull of the past." -- Gin Phillips, author of Fierce Kingdom, Family Law, and The Hidden Summer
