White Jade weaves a story of legend, truth, and betrayal, spanning two continents and hundreds of years. Driven from the shores of their beloved China by war in 1864, Meili's heirs travel to San Francisco, where they find themselves thrust into a strange, foreign world-a world of Nob Hill wealth, romance, clandestine societies, betrayals, ghosts, and self-discovery. Three diverse families intertwine as cultures collide, deceptions unravel, and the legacy of a legendary "big luck" grabs hold of them all! Can a legendary jade amulet really possess the power to change the luck not only of the living but also of the dead? For decades, Meili and her heirs must hold on to a small jade goat to unlock its legendary "big luck." Little do they know that the White Jade, guarded by a mysterious ghostly figure and sought after by a rising tong leader, is destined to launch them on an incredible journey that spans cultures and generations. "I warn you, luck can come disguised in many ways. You must wear the White Jade well-this you must do for the sake of the ancestors."
