A Mystic, a Poet, and the Secret Heart of Chinatown: Discover

Author's Tranquility Press unveils a dazzling novel where ancient magic and modern longing collide on the fog-draped streets of San Francisco.
There's a pulse in San Francisco that guidebooks never mention, a rhythm found in the steam of a teapot at a back-alley diner and in the whispered incantations of a man they call the Quack. Author's Tranquility Press is thrilled to announce the release of The Quack [https://www.amazon.com/Quack-Carrie-Chang/dp/1543478085/ref=sr_1_1?crid=1NB92N2XK2RV2&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.jhS53Pvy0Em6eOfHoQ269A.pQ7Do01oHgn3Xd_apPaZEMyrj32-Hd6eNtgSiY2tno4&dib_tag=se&keywords=Carrie+Chang+-+The+Quack+1543478085&qid=1758215476&s=books&sprefix=carrie+chang+-+the+quack+1543478085%2Cstripbooks%2C628&sr=1-1], Carrie Chang's breathtaking debut that pulls back the curtain on a Chinatown teeming with spiritual seekers, wounded ghosts, and the intoxicating search for a soul.

This is the story of Isabelle Wu, who traded a stifling career for the chaotic poetry of Chinatown's midnight markets and shadowy corners. Adrift between her American upbringing and her Chinese heritage, she becomes a patient of the enigmatic Dr. Hsu, an acupuncturist whose diagnoses are as cryptic as his methods. He sees past her urban ennui to a deeper malady: a profound, existential heartbreak. His prescription? A journey that will lead her through a ghetto alive with chiming falsetto hopes, into the arms of a complicated lover, and face-to-face with a cast of characters so vivid they feel like family you never knew you had.

More than a novel, The Quack is an experience. Chang's writing doesn't just describe Chinatown-it channels its very essence. You'll taste the greasy cootie chow-mein, smell the pungent curries at Yeo's restaurant, and feel the electric charge of the neon signs reflecting off wet pavement. It's a place where a jade monkey trinket can contain a universe of meaning and were dropping a coin in a dragon-well might summon a feathered, otherworldly messenger.

For anyone who has ever felt caught between two worlds, for anyone who has searched for magic in the mundane, The Quack is your new literary compass. It's a book that understands that the most potent remedies aren't always found in a bottle, but in the wild, wacky, and ultimately healing embrace of community.

The Quack is available now on Amazon. [https://www.amazon.com/Quack-Carrie-Chang/dp/1543478085/ref=sr_1_1?crid=1NB92N2XK2RV2&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.jhS53Pvy0Em6eOfHoQ269A.pQ7Do01oHgn3Xd_apPaZEMyrj32-Hd6eNtgSiY2tno4&dib_tag=se&keywords=Carrie+Chang+-+The+Quack+1543478085&qid=1758215476&s=books&sprefix=carrie+chang+-+the+quack+1543478085%2Cstripbooks%2C628&sr=1-1] Answer its call and let it take you on a journey you won't soon forget.
