Spring Moon — Bette Bao Lord

Favored daughter a noble house, Spring Moon was a pampered jewel whose serenely gracious world was sheltered behind the walls of her family's privilege and power. But suddenly that world was collapsing around her. And the girl who had known only luxury and pleasure was forced from her home into the tempest of war and upheaval raging across her land. Devastated by the ruin of the family she cherished above her own happiness, brokenhearted by the loss of her beloved husband, her daughter, and the man whose son she could never call her own, Spring Moon endured. And after a lifetime of desperate struggle and sacrifice, with nothing left to her but honor and the memory of a life now destroyed, the destiny foretold at her birth was fulfilled.
