Based upon events in the life of the author's wife's grandmother, Gum Moon (Cantonese for 'Gold Door' or 'Golden Gate') is an awardwinning novel in Writer's Digest's 2019 selfpublished competition. An Honorable Mention in the Mainstream/Literary Fiction category, and an 'Education for Mission' 20212022 Reading Program selection by United Methodist Women, Gum Moon is the remarkable coming of age story of a ChineseAmerican girl, Mei Chun Lai, who is sold in 1898 at the age of three to a cruel brothel keeper. A sympathetic prostitute befriends Chun, but during a plague quarantine, Chun is thrust into a bewildering new world when she is rescued by a friend of Donaldina Cameron and placed in a Home for abused and trafficked girls. The Home is destroyed in the 1906 San Francisco earthquake and fire, but Chun (aka 'Maud') survives. In an attempt to raise funds to rebuild the Home, Maud and a group of seven other Chinese children embark on a crosscountry singing tour. Performing for President Theodore Roosevelt is the highlight of the journey, but when the matron of the Home suffers a breakdown, thirteen yearold Maud must find within herself the strength and resolve to lead the band of children home.
