Although Soong Nan Lee appeared as frail as a bird, she survived a barefoot trek across war-torn Korea to a demolished Seoul at the age of fourteen. Pulled into a world of celebrity, then banished to America, Soong and her family eventually find themselves in Honolulu, on an island divided by subtle race and class tensions. As her children struggle to carve out their American identities, Soong finds herself torn between her own ambitions and deep-seated obligations to her family.
Years later, Soong is reunited with her three adult children, their families, and her new Hawaiian in-laws-a meeting that sparks a turbulent trip down memory lane, dredging up dark shadows from the family's past which take them to the brink of disaster, and over the edge.
Traveling back and forth between contemporary Hawai'i and post-war Korea, The Queen of Tears tells the haunting tale of a Korean American family struggling to survive and succeed through the growing pains of the twentieth century.
