GRACE ON TIME is the story of about three generations of overseas Chinese women whose lives were intertwined in the fast moving history of British Malaya, independent Malaya and Malaysia. Though subconsciously and consciously rooted in the deep traditions of ancient China, these women faced life challenges of poverty, illiteracy, prejudice, injustice, critical illness, betrayal of marital vows and changing cultures with a commitment to their families which is becoming rare in today's global communities. Do not charge a book by its size. This short and vividly written book is hard to put down once reading commences. It may also speak to your soul.

This volume completes Keith McMahon’s acclaimed history of imperial wives and royal polygamy in China. Avoiding the stereotype of the emperor’s plural wives as mere victims or playthings, the book considers empresses and concubines as full-fledged participants in palace life, whether as mothers, wives, or go-betweens in the emperor’s relations with others in the palace. Although restrictions on women’s participation in politics increased dramatically after Empress Wu in the Tang, the author follows the strong and active women, of both high and low rank, who continued to appear. They counseled emperors, ghostwrote for them, oversaw succession when they died, and dominated them when they were weak. They influenced the emperor’s relationships with other women and enhanced their aura and that of the royal house with their acts of artistic and religious patronage. Dynastic history ended in China when the prohibition that women should not rule was defied for the final time by Dowager Cixi, the last great monarch before China’s transformation into a republic.
