Hidden

A Mei-hua Adventure

Beschreibung

Mei-hua's world is turned upside-down when her father is accused of disloyalty to the new Ming Dynasty Emperor. If he's found guilty, he and his entire family will be executed. To protect Mei-hua, his only daughter, he sends her away disguised as a mute peasant. Before reaching safety, however, she is kidnapped and sold to a wealthy family. Mei-hua-the privileged daughter of a magistrate-now finds herself a lowly bond servant. She must hide her real identity at all costs to avoid triggering the destruction of everyone she loves. Her only hope is to run away, but her plan is interrupted and her secret exposed when gangsters attack her owner's daughter. Can Mei-hua escape before her identity is discovered? If she does, how will she survive with no family or friends?

She's published extensively in the social sciences, particularly in the areas of cultural change, immigrant and refugee studies, and cross-cultural mediation. Now she has entered another exciting world: writing contemporary and historical mysteries and crime stories. Her first cozy mystery A Tangled Yarn, published by Annie's Publishing in late 2013, is set in a deceptively peaceful Oregon coastal town. Presently, she writes two historical series set in 14th and 15th Century China. oHidden, is the first of a YA historical adventure/mystery trilogy. Set in 1380 China, a young bi-racial daughter of a magistrate finds her once safe world turned upside down when her father is falsely accused of treason. She is forced to flee her home and finds herself kidnapped and sold as an indentured servant. oThe Judge Lu Ming Dynasty Case Files, is a series of short stories modeled after crime stories traditionally written by Chinese magistrates themselves. Each story highlights a legal system where the magistrate's role is multi-faceted; he's the investigator, prosecutor, defense lawyer, judge, and jury. Pam happily lives in St. Louis, Missouri with her husband and Sophie, a feral cat who-once she came inside-never left. Pam's daughter and son-in-law live in Wisconsin.
