Gripping and compassionate, Land of Big Numbers traces the journeys of the diverse and legion Chinese people, their history, their government, and how all of that has tumbled—messily, violently, but still beautifully—into the present.

Irene had been married into a family that relied on culture to determine their fate. Unhappily married to Shane, her husband, Irene wanted out so badly. She wanted a divorce that couldn't happen because of their strict culture and her only son. If she divorced Shane, it would embarrass the entire family and Shane could get full custody of her son. It had been too much for Irene to fake her marriage, so she moved out and went to a city where she found a job at a very large company. Irene meets Morgan and things change.
