Diesel, A Bookstore in Brentwood welcomes bestselling author Lisa See back to the store to discuss and sign Dreams of Joy on Tuesday, February 7th at 7pm.

Dreams of Joy continues the story of sisters Pearl and May from Shanghai Girls, and introduces Pearl's strong-willed nineteen-year-old daughter, Joy. Reeling from newly uncovered family secrets, Joy runs away to Shanghai in early 1957 to find her birth father - the artist Z.G. Li, with whom both May and Pearl were once in love. In Shanghai, Joy throws herself into the New Society of Red China, heedless of the dangers in the Communist regime. "Astonishing... a story with characters who enter a reader's life, take up residence, and illuminate the myriad decisions and stories that make up human history." - Los Angeles Times
