Letters From Beyond Irene Yang Wang

Is it possible to communicate with a loved one who has passed away? In Letters From Beyond, a grieving son writes a letter to his deceased mother, in the hopes of hearing back from her. Not only does the mother write back to her son, but through a series of back and forth letters, the mother tells her son about her life story; from 1940s China during the Chinese Civil War, through the 1950s founding of the Republic of China in Taiwan, onto 1960s California during the hippy and counter-culture era, into China in the late 1980s during the Open Door Policy Era, and onto modern day California and Taiwan. Ultimately, Letters From Beyond is an epic story of love and hope in the face of sweeping historical events. Included with Letters From Beyond are additional stories and writing.
