What to expect
A journey back in time, The Golden Mountain is the gripping story of four generations of Chinese women who live and die under the restrictions of their culture—except for one, the author. Her story tells of growing up in Hong Kong and of her transition to New York City, where she struggled to meld the American dream with her ethnic background. Finally, at age fifty she dares to move into the present and understand the true nature of dreams and what it means to live.
Spanning continents, generations, immigrations, cultural changes, and social movements, The Golden Mountain is the deeply inspiring tale of a woman claiming her power.

“Irene embraces her American life with frustration, fortitude, and rebellion—emerging a dynamic, spiritually-centered, truly twenty-first century woman. A must-read.”
“A unique and fascinating view into deep cultural roots and how they both challenge and nourish the growth of new branches in another culture across an ocean.”
“This is a gripping story of transformation, courage, and enlightenment. Four women survive enormous odds under the restrictions of their culture until Irene dares move into the present to catch her breath of freedom. A deeply inspiring example of a woman claiming her power. Kept me engrossed to the last word.”
