Shimmering Across Time explores the universal quest for understanding human existence through the multi-generational saga of the Yiu family. Set against the historical backdrop of late 18th and early 19th century China and Southeast Asia, the narrative follows the family’s harrowing journey from Canton to Vietnam and Laos, as they strive to escape the ravages of war. Through their trials, the story illuminates the resilience of the human spirit and the profound intersections of faith and the miraculous, all while maintaining historical accuracy to the notable figures and events of the era.
