Two-year-old Ursula Wong, part Chinese, part Finnish, falls down a disused mine shaft in Michigan's Upper Peninsula. Soon the entire country is raptly focused on the dangerous effort to rescue her. As it follows that effort, the novel travels along the chain of ancestors, across two thousand years, whose lives culminate in the fragile miracle of a little girl underground.

Ursula Wong is the only child of a poor family and referred to by one member of the TV audience as 'half-breed trailer trash', not worth all the expense. But Ursula is the last of her family line and her story explodes into a gorgeous saga of culture, history and heredity.
