"The Bonesetter s Daughter dramatically chromcles the tortured, devoted relationship between LuLing Youfig and her daughter Ruth A strong novel, filled with idiosyncratic, sympathetic characters, haunting images,historical complexity, significant contemporary themes,and suspenseful mystery." ——Los Angeles Times

I give endless thanks to my dear friend and editor, the
late,great Faith Sale. To my astonishment, she could always sense
the difference between what I was trying to write and what I
wanted to write. She promised she would see me through this book,
and though she died before I finished, I believe she kept her
promise.
My writing teacher and longtime mentor, Molly Giles,took over
as editor and resurrected this book during those days when I was
scared to turn the pages. Thank you, Molly,for your keen eye and
ear, as well as for suggestions that were always true to my
intentions. I also much appreciated the heavy doses of optimism
during times we can now acknowl-edge as dire.
I am blessed to have had the help, kindness, and protection of
Lou and G-reg, the guidance of Sandra Dijkstra, Anna Jar-dine, and
Aimee Taub, and the spiritual sustenance of the late-night posters
on AOUs Caregivers' Support for the El-derly.
As luck and fate would have it, two ghostwriters came to my
assistance during the last draft. The heart of this story be-longs
to my grandmother, its voice to my mother. I give them credit for
anything good, and have already promised them I will try harder
the next time.
