This is a great story about 2 sisters in China. They are young and models for calender and advertisements in the 1930's and love life until suddenly, their city is invaded by the Japanese. Their lives become very involved as they find out their father has arranged marriages for them to a Chinese business owners sons who are returning to America. The sisters are given tickets to board a ship to the US to join their new husbands, but decide they can run away instead. The characters are developed well the there is alot of history involved in the story. I found the book very enjoyable.
