Through The Dragon's Gate

Jean O’Hara is a prominent psychiatrist in Washington, but her journey began in the chaos of 1940s China. Born to an English family in Beijing, she endured the fall of the Kuomintang, Communist revolution, and the trauma of political exile. This powerful memoir traces a life shaped by displacement, identity, and the relentless pursuit of healing — both for herself and others. For fans of Wild Swans and The Girl with Seven Names.
