At the end of the 19th century, in the city of Chinkiang, China, two girls from opposite worlds meet: Willow, from a very poor Chinese family, and Pearl, the daughter of an American preacher. As their lives intertwine, Pearl is forced to return to her homeland, while Willow remains in China, enduring the turbulent history of her country. Eventually, Pearl achieves global recognition by winning the Nobel Prize in Literature under the name Pearl Buck. This is a story of two extraordinary destinies in the heart of an awakening China.
