Catching up with Fox Spirit – Episodes 1-25
Did you mean to follow my on-line novel Fox Spirit but fell behind? Here’s a quick synopsis to catch you up to the first 25 episodes (they’re short, but still, 25 is a daunting number!)
====
Sara Miller needs a fresh start after the death of her husband John, so when China opens up to the West in August of 1997, she accepts an offer to work at a startup video game company in Beijing. But things don’t go smoothly: she finds she has been hired only to provide an American Face for the company as it seeks investors, she must repel unwanted advances from Chinese executives, and she meets with suspicion and jealousy from some of her coworkers—especially the much younger, volatile sales manager, Storm Cheng.
After four months Sara view the coming Christmas with mixed feelings. She had quarreled with her daughter-in-law Rennie shortly before coming to Beijing, she does not want to make life difficult for her son Mark, but she longs to see her grandson Richie. Her son’s urging and Rennie’s half-hearted invitation bring her back to California for a holiday visit.
In California, Sara and Rennie share an uneasy peace, until Rennie lets slip that she and her mother suspect that John Miller’s death was no accident. Sara prepares for dinner with the in-laws like a gladiator going to face the tigers.
