SUMMARY:July 2026 Program
DESCRIPTION:Our July program\, jointly sponsored by The China Society of Southern California\, is an in-person book talk with best-selling author Lisa See and her newest book\, Daughters of the Sun and Moon\, followed by a banquet at the Golden Dragon Restaurant in Los Angeles Chinatown. \nPurchase your tickets\, $45/person. Select the number of tickets you would like to purchase and click on the Get Tickets button. The cost of the ticket includes a 3% transaction fee. \n \nABOUT THE BOOK \nBeloved New York Times best-selling author Lisa See draws on the vibrancy and turmoil of post-Civil War Los Angeles to tell the story of three Chinese women who managed to survive and\, eventually\, thrive\, despite all odds. \nIn 1870\, three Chinese women arrive in the small\, dusty\, and violent pueblo of Los Angeles\, Dove\, the bound-footed daughter of an imperial scholar\, is entrancing and innocent. These characteristics should bring her great rewards\, beginning with her arranged marriage to a much older merchant. Petal\, the big-footed daughter of peasants\, has grown up hungry and with dirt between her toes. In a moment of desperation\, Petal’s father sells her to buy money for rice seed and she is loaded onto a ship to the Gold Mountain – America – where she is once again sold. Moon is married to a doctor of traditional Chinese medicine. She is educated\, speaks fluent English\, and has been endowed with a face of great beauty\, yet her failed foot-binding as a child has left her with a limp that lessens her value in the eyes of many. \nEach woman has her own desires. Dove wants to love and be loved. Petal desires freedom\, and Moon seeks justice. Together they face a larger society that wishes them not one ounce of good will. Anti-Chinese sentiment is strong in Los Angeles\, and this eventually leads to the Night of Horrors during which all three women are challenged in ways they could not have imagined. Brought together by hardship and heartbreak\, they must use their bravery\, endurance\, and ability to “eat bitterness” to  discover their voices\, find freedom\, and connect through solace and friendship. Together they are daughters of the sun and moon. \nABOUT THE AUTHOR \nLisa See is the New York Times best-selling author of Lady Tan’s Circle of Women\, The Island of Sea Women\, The Tea Girl of Hummingbird Lane\, Snow Flower and the Secret Fan\, Peony in Love\, Shanghai Girls\, China Dolls\, and Dreams of Joy\, which debuted at #1. She is also the author of On Gold Mountain\, which tells the story of her Chinese American family’s settlement in Los Angeles. See was the recipient of the Golden Spike Award from the Chinese Historical Society of Southern California and the Historymaker’s Award from the Chinese American Museum. She was also named National Woman of the Year by the Organization of Chinese American Women.
