Confessions of Madame Psyche - Paperback

Paperback, [PU: Feminist Press at The City University of New York], This enchanting novel is both a modern-day epic and a work of great emotional and spiritual depth.

When young Mei-li by chance predicts the San Francisco earthquake of 1906, her scheming half-sister exploits Mei-li as a psychic. But Mei-li rejects popular "spirituality" and seeks a truer vision., Feminism & Feminist Theory
