Traditional Chinese culture rests upon the shoulders of three great sages, Confucius, the Buddha, and Lao Tzu. The last of these is the most mysterious and least-known of the heavenly trio. Love Becomes Her depicts this legendary figure in search of a soulmate, only to find her in the form of a baby from an island of giants.

A novel of magical realism in the vein of Gabriel Garcia Márquez and Isabel Allende, this a tale of passion, persistence and triumph. Set alternately in modern China's era of economic and social transformation and in the ancient dynasty that birthed one of the world's great philosophies, Love Becomes Her entrances and enchants as a fable for the ages.
