A portrait of a family living on two sides of the globe. Chan Sam, a Chinese peasant moves to the New World leaving his "at-home" wife to raise their son and the concubine's two Canadian-born children. May-ying is the concubine who supports Chan Sam, his family in China, and their third daughter, Hing, the author's mother.
