She had more to live for than anyone, including fame, fortune, beauty, a husband, and child. Some even wondered if the controversial author of the <i>Rape of Nanking</i> had been murdered. Long-time friend Paula Kamen was among those left wondering what had gone so wrong. Seeking to reconcile the suicide with the image of Chang's &quot;perfect&quot; life, Kamen searched her own memory and scoured Chang's letters, diaries, and archival material to fill in the gaps of Chang's personal transformation&mdash;from awkward teen to homecoming princess in college, from &quot;ex-shy person&quot; to world-class speaker and international human rights pioneer&mdash;and later decline into mental illness and paranoia. A literary investigation of an important writer's journey, <i>Finding Iris Chang</i> is a tribute to a lost heroine, a portrait of the real and vulnerable woman who inspired so many around the world.</p> <h3>Praise for <i>Finding Iris Chang</i></h3> <p>&quot;A rewardingly complex portrait of a driven and troubled woman.&quot; <br>&mdash<i>Kirkus Reviews</i> <p>&quot;Part biography, part detective story, part memoir of a thorny but enduring friendship, this book takes us to the heart of Iris Chang's tragic life. Paula Kamen writes with astute psychological insight, the intuition of a close friend&mdash;and with the determination of an investigative reported resolved to get to the bottom of a death as baffling as it is heartbreaking.&quot; <br>&mdash;Molly Worthen, author of <i>The Man on Whom Nothing Was Lost</i></p> <p>&quot;Iris Chang inspired many, including me. Now Iris's life has inspired her friend Paula Kamen to write a tender remembrance of a great woman.&quot; <br>&mdash;James Bradley, author of <i>Flags of Our Fathers</i> and <i>Flyboys</i></p> <p>&quot;Journalist Paula Kamen leaves no clue unturned in this riveting narrative that is part detective story, part psychological drama, part homage to a friend, as she peels back the complexities of Iris Chang's life and death&mdash;revealing the obsessions, frailties, significance, and, ultimately, the humanity of this legendary Chinese American woman warrior.&quot; <br>&mdash;Helen Zia, author of <i>Asian American Dreams: The Emergence of an American People</i></p> <h3>Extended Copyright Information</h3> <p>Copyright 2007 by Paula Kamen.
