Bilingual writer Annabel Annuo Liu chose to bury the secret and maintain the family façade. More than twenty years later, however, struggling to make sense of her life, she wrote her tenth book, the second volume of her memoirs. Unflinchingly candid and powerful, Under the Towering Tree: A Daughter's Memoir is a story within a story. It depicts the startling and heartbreaking family intrigue lurking beneath Liu's seemingly calm, content, and well-established life. Spanning four generations and two cultures, it is a portrait of a marriage, a family psychological drama, a mystery story, and a survivor's tale. 600 10 $a Liu, Annuo. 650 0 $a Women journalists $z United States $v Biography. 650 0 $a Chinese American women $v Biography. 650 0 $a Immigrants $z United States $v Biography. 651 0 $a China $x History $y 20th century $v Biography. 941 $a 1 952 $l BOPG851 $d 20181006091346.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=26B2F048C93011E88539171297128E48 994 $a C0 $b UIBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
