Her father, the son of missionaries, leads a charmed and secretive life, though his greatest joy is sharing his beloved city with his only daughter. Yet when Anna and her mother flee Japanese-occupied Shanghai to return to California, he stays behind, believing his connections and a little bit of luck will keep him safe. Through Anna's memories and her father's journals we learn of his fall from charismatic millionaire to tortured prisoner, in a story of betrayal and reconciliation that spans two continents. Breathtaking and richly lyrica, The Distant Land of My Father unfolds to reveal an enduring family love through tragic circumstances.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 0156027135\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: DBV.0156027135.G\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Caldwell, Bo\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: Gently used with minimal wear on the corners and cover.
