The Money Dragon brings to life the saga of L. Ah Leong, the Money Dragon, one of the legends of Hawai`i and the founder of Honolulu’s Chinatown. At the turn of the twentieth century, Ah Leong rules over his Hawai`ian home, a legendary man so proficient in the martial arts he has brought himself back to life; a man who beguiles many wives, sires dozens of children and is driven by money and greed. He builds a financial empire, establishing himself as a leader both on the exotic islands and in his Chinese homeland. But when Phoenix, the wife of his first son Tat-Tung, arrives in Hawai`i, she becomes witness to how the values Ah Leong holds dear begin to tear him and his family apart.\nThe Money Dragon is a fascinating and important first novel, a tale of a family struggling between love, greed, jealousy and loyalty. Pam Chun reaches into her family history to deliver a story that shows the tumult and opportunity that occurs when the deep-rooted traditions of the Chinese people meet the sweeping advance of the Western world.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Sourcebooks, Inc.","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45117973037109,"sku":"ByrdShop_1570718660","price":28.22,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9781570718663_dc37bf35-a5b0-4850-8c68-03dabca116a1.jpg?v=1776494691","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/the-money-dragon-a-novel-9781570718663","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
