Publisher Description
An unforgettable bestselling memoir of resilience, identity, and hope, this is the true story of one girl's determination to rise above rejection in 1940s China and find her own voice.
From the bestselling author of Falling Leaves comes the powerful true story that has inspired generations of readers.
Growing up in an affluent family in 1940s China, Adeline is treated as an outsider from the moment she is born. Blamed for her mother's death in childbirth and neglected by her father, Adeline longs for the love and acceptance that never seem to come. While her stepmother lavishes affection on her younger siblings, Adeline finds comfort in books, excels in school, and quietly dreams of a different future.
Adeline recounts her journey from loneliness and heartbreak to resilience and self-discovery. Like the classic fairy tale that inspired its title, Chinese Cinderella is a deeply moving memoir about overcoming adversity and believing in your own worth.
Perfect for readers who love inspiring true stories, the bookincludes an author's note, a historical note, a photo insert, and the original Chinese text of Chinese Cinderella.
