AbstractHistoryArchive Description
'Josie Lee travels from her home in Australia to a small island off the coast of China to bury her grandfathers ashes. There, she discovers the old Lee mansion now sold to a developer and a web of family secrets stretching back over the generations. Unknown to Josie, it is the time for righting old wrongs. And as the last of the Lees, she must do the paying. Soon they will gather on the Goddess Rock where, long ago, a betrayed woman cursed Josies ancestors.' (Publication summary)
