Mae Watkins, a University of Michigan student, unexpectedly falls in love with a Chinese international law student in the midst of World War I.

She documents in detail her perceptions of Chinese fashion and food in addition to her knowledge of such controversial customs as foot binding and widow suicide. She offers great compassion for her Chinese family, both current and past. This book was ghost written by Katherine Anne Porter and published in Asia in serialized form in 1920.
