Description:

A young Chinese-American woman is driven into a mental asylum by her family's reaction to rape by her father. They know he did it repeatedly, but they refuse to acknowledge it, saying she is inventing. A clash of cultures, in this case Oriental family solidarity versus Western individual rights. A first novel.
