The True Story of Nora Lam
"
A romantic love story
a stirring, large scale epic, inspirational in the best sense of the word." Kevin Thomas, Los Angeles Times
Adopted by a prominent family in Shanghai In 1941, young Nora's Lam is treated like a princess, until the bombs drop, and the Japanese seize her house. After the defeat of the Japanese, she joins the Communists, thinking they are the true liberators of China. All goes well until she falls in love with Lam Cheng Shen from Hong Kong. Communists officials want to break her of her bourgeois tendencies. During the next few years, in which she marries and has three children, she is subjected to excruciating persecution. She calls out to God for salvation, and miracles happen. She bargains for her husband and daughter's release to Hong Kong and is sent to hard labor, where she starts agitating for her own release. An intimate love story, saga of courage, and acclaimed inspirational gem.
