Book Description
Mei Wang is a modern, independent Chinese woman. She runs her own business in Beijing, working as a private investigator; she owns a car; she even has that most modern of commodities, a male secretary.One day, "Uncle" Chen asks her to find the Eye of Jade, a priceless Han dynasty artefact taken from its museum during the years of the Cultural Revolution when Red Guards swarmed the streets, destroying many remnants of the past. Mei's investigations reveal a story that has far more to do with the past, and her own family history, than she could ever have expected. She must delve into that brutal part of China's history, Mao's labour camps and the countless deaths for which no one was ever held responsible. It exposes the agonising choices made during the Revolution, to kill or be killed, to love or to live.The Eye of Jade is a fascinating glimpse of city life in modern China. Liang captures vividly Beijing's bustle and noise, from seedy gambling dens and cheap noodle bars, to the splendour of the Forbidden City. With a rich cast of characters spanning immigrant workers and government officials, she examines the sometimes uneasy relationship between China's brutal communist past under Mao and its increasingly capitalist present.

Book Description
“This....,” said Meg with a flourish “is the Chinese Orchestra.” Jade stared in fascination as Meg took out each little parcel and laid it on the downie. She carefully unwrapped each piece. Little porcelain figures emerged of girls, their black hair up in elaborate coiffures. They were clad in long flowing embroidered robes with loose sleeves. One was sitting cross legged with a flat string instrument across her knees, another knelt holding a tambourine. Three others sat on round seats, one playing cymbals, one playing a lute and the other holding a black lacquered clapper. Jade stared dumbstruck. They had her eyes. Each had eyes exactly like her own. “Aren’t they beautiful,” said Meg.

Book Description
He wants to be her Daddy... With a crappy ex-husband and a new lease on life, Jade Brooks moves to Spring Mills for a fresh start. What she gets is far more than she bargained for when Holden Foster shows up at her door. He’s hot, dominating, and harbors a secret of intergalactic proportion. When Jade is invited over to share a meal with Holden, she’s grateful for the company and a new friendship. Her curiosity gets the better of her when she finds a package on his counter and he tells her genuinely to open it up and see what was delivered. The cylinder, a device that travels through time and space, opens a portal and leads Jade and her new sexy friend to a prison colony on his home planet of Adair, where spankings are a regular occurrence and age regression is a requirement for jailed women to rehabilitate within the system. Given no choice but to become a little one, Jade must face a nanny with a firm hand, Holden as her Daddy, and a blossoming relationship that is against the rules.
