    Ursula Bacon’s impassioned memoir Shanghai Diary has touched the lives of people around the world, recounting the story of her youth in China. Eternal Strangers finds the author recounting events before Shanghai Diary begins, with the meeting of the author’s parents and their escape from war-torn Europe to the safer harbors of Asia. Inspiring, thought provoking, and starkly honest, Eternal Strangers will be a book discussed for years to come.
