Melissa Fu traces three generations of a family, bound together by their epic and complicated past, in "Peach Blossom Spring." In China in 1938, young Meilin is forced to flee, along with her four-year-old son Renshu, as the Japanese army closes in. They take with them only what they can carry, including an illustrated scroll full of ancient fables. A generation later, Renshu has settled in America and taken the name Henry Dao, all while trying to navigate his family's immigrant history. When his own daughter begins asking questions about their past, he struggles between keeping the past in the past and giving his daughter the answers she needs to understand herself.
