Seven-year-old Jinhua is alone and unprotected after her mandarin father's execution for the crime of speaking the truth. For seven silver coins, she is sold to a brothel-keeper. Will the private ritual that is her father's legacy and the wise friendship of the brothel maid be enough to sustain her? When an elegant but troubled scholar takes Jinhua as his concubine, she accompanies him on a journey to Vienna and her eyes and heart are opened
