A sword carried across oceans
Poh Poh’s sword connects a family’s present to a journey from China to North America, known to her as Gold Mountain. In the publisher’s description, the sword is not a weapon for fighting: Poh Poh dances with it to Chinese opera music, and it stands alongside the story of how she made a new life for her family after leaving home. The book brings together family memory, migration and a vivid image of movement, giving its account of starting over a personal, intergenerational frame.

Julie's grandmother dances with a sword. She swirls and leaps to the sound of Chinese opera music. When she was young, Poh Poh left her home and everything she knew to travel across the ocean to North America--what they knew as Gold Mountain. The one thing she brought was her sword, but she did not use it to fight. She used it to forge a new life for her family.
