Peach Blossom Spring by Melissa Fu

Spanning from the Japanese invasion of China to the immigrant experience in America, this sweeping tale follows a resourceful mother and her son as they flee war, endure displacement across China and Taiwan, and rebuild new lives overseas, guided by a treasured handscroll of folktales. Years later, the son, now a father, hides his painful past to protect his daughter, whose questions about heritage and identity force the family to confront secrets, memory, and the costs of survival.
