After eight years of government harassment, she fled to Hong Kong with her daughter. Upon arrival, Sun Yi wrote a bestselling memoir about her persecution and survival, used the proceeds to put Rose in an elite boarding school--and promptly had a breakdown that left her committed to a mental institution. Rose eventually came to the United States on a scholarship and brought Sun Yi to live with her. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eTessa watched her mother care for Sun Yi, both of them struggling under the weight of Sun Yi's unexamined trauma and mental illness. Vowing to escape her mother's smothering fear, Tessa left home and traveled to the farthest-flung corners of the globe (Antarctica). But at the age of thirty, it starts to feel less like freedom and more like running away, and she returns home to face the history that shaped her family. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eExtensively researched and gorgeously rendered, \u003ci\u003e Feeding Ghost\u003c\/i\u003es is Hulls's homecoming, a vivid journey into the beating heart of one family, set against the dark backdrop of Chinese history. By turns fascinating and heartbreaking, inventive and poignant, \u003ci\u003eFeeding Ghosts\u003c\/i\u003e exposes the fear and trauma that haunt generations, and the love that holds them together.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Tessa Hulls\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0374601658\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780374601652\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e MCD\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/05\/2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 400\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 2.10lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.30h x 7.50w x 1.70d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eLibrary Journal Prepub Alert\u003c\/i\u003e 10\/01\/2023 pg. 21\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBooklist\u003c\/i\u003e 02\/01\/2024 pg. 36\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eKirkus Reviews\u003c\/i\u003e 02\/01\/2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 02\/05\/2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eShelf Awareness\u003c\/i\u003e 03\/16\/2024","brand":"Tessa Hulls","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44449887060223,"sku":"9780374601652","price":40.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_7f3dac40-6036-4071-889d-3f7f5e1df15d.jpg?v=1698501584","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/feeding-ghosts-tessa-hulls-9780374601652","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
