Book • 2018
The novel centers on two Chinese American siblings on the lam after their sometimes abusive father dies, leaving them to survive in a dreamscape that blends historical and mythological elements.

The story is narrated by a sister whose gender is more fluid and includes elements of ghost narratives, gold, and tigers.

Zhang's work challenges the traditional white-centered narratives of the American West, incorporating elements of her own cultural background and childhood experiences.
