Confession of Madame Psyche Memoirs and Letters of Mei-Li Murrow

Mei-li Murrow, the illegitimate daughter of a Chinese prostitute and a white confidence man, is recreated as the medium "Madame Psyche" after she accidentally predicts the San Francisco earthquake of 1906. Although she wins fame and fortune as a medium, Mei-li seeks a truer spirituality, and embarks on a pilgrimage that takes her to the death-soaked Europe of the First World War, to a utopian commune in the Santa Cruz Mountains in the 1920s, to Depression-era migrant work camps and cannery strikes, and finally to the Napa State Hospital, where she finds wisdom and peace among the outcasts of the asylum.Bryant, Dorothy is the author of 'Confession of Madame Psyche Memoirs and Letters of Mei-Li Murrow' with ISBN 9780931688140 and ISBN 0931688140.
