Through the MOONgate (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781583483893)

Through the Moongate is the true story of a young woman's life in China. A life of privilege and poverty, of romance and adventure, of humor and sorrow, but most of all a life filled with unforgettable characters tempered by the forces of revolution.

Born in Siberia as her parents fled from the Russian revolution she grew up in Shanghai, where her family found refuge, and later in the fascinating European colony of Tsingtao.

Vivid in description are her recollections of time in China during Japan's occupation including an encounter with Mao Tse-tong in the mountains of Laoshan.

Tragically widowed at an early age, young woman overcomes incredible obstacles to create a new life for herself her and two young children. As communist forces seized power in China, they escaped on the last ship to leave the port of Tsingtao for the United States of America.

Indeed, to read Through the Moongate is an adventure and a glimpse into a human life courageously lived.
