From the publisher

David Henry Hwang draws on the true stories told to him by his grandmother of his great-grandfather's break with Confucian tradition by his conversion to Christianity, and the eventual unbinding of his daughter's feet. A "skillfully-told story that engages the emotions as well as the brain," Golden Child explores the impact of these decisions on each of his great-grandfather's three wives, and succeeding generations (Entertainment Focus).
