Brown Jade is a story of home

Malaysia, an equatorial peninsular with soft sand and swaying palm trees, but underneath this lush greenery lies a harsh landscape of real life.

Life in 1950s for 13-year-old Lau Li Jen was unkind-hardship and poverty was all she knew. With her ailing mother close to death, and three younger siblings to look out for, responsibility weighed heavily on Jen’s shoulders. Would she have to sacrifice her education to support her family?

Spirited, Jen boldly faces unknown challenges and the pains of growing up. But a stranger enters the family’s broken world; life is destines to be different….

Brown Jade is full of emotional warmth and atmosphere, emphasising the universal importance of cherishing family and friendship.
