Our Lady of Kaifeng: Courtyard of the Happy Way - Paperback

Marah Fallowfield, a visionary virgin mother, wants nothing more than to lead all the people interned by the Japanese in Shandong Province to freedom. But the benevolent Japanese Camp Commandant wants to recruit her to help make his dream of a beautiful internment camp where everyone is happy come true. Meanwhile, two internees escape to help the Chinese resistance, but end up caught in battles between the Nationalists and the Communists. Back at the camp, the progressive ideals of total equality among internees are put to the ultimate test. With so many idealists cramped together in such close quarters, what could possibly go wrong? Does true love have a chance?
