Surviving the Nian

Fireworks explode when Kaylin returns to Hong Kong for the first time in five years, bringing her lover Asha – and a completely new life plan – to introduce to her family. But they have their own plans for her. Where do her loyalties lie? In Surviving the Nian, families from even the most far-away lands prove familiar.
