このコンテンツについて
Based on events in the life of the author's wife's grandmother, Gum Moon (Cantonese for "Gold Door" or "Golden Gate") is the remarkable coming of age story of a Chinese American girl, Mei Chun Lai, who is sold in 1898 at the age of three to a cruel brothel keeper.
A sympathetic prostitute befriends Chun, but during a plague quarantine, Chun is thrust into a bewildering new world when she is rescued and placed in a home for abused and trafficked girls. The home is destroyed in the 1906 San Francisco earthquake and fire, but Chun (aka "Maud") survives.
In an attempt to raise funds to rebuild the home, Maud and a group of seven other Chinese children embark on a cross-country singing tour. Performing for President Theodore Roosevelt is the highlight of the journey, but when the matron of the home suffers a breakdown, 13-year-old Maud must find within herself the strength and resolve to lead the band of children home.
