“I enjoyed this book as I have always been fascinated with books on adoption, and to see what it is like for these children at this particular orphanage was eye opening. This is a story of a North American woman, who's husband is transferred to China for 4 years, she also has a young daughter, wh...
So loved this book! I can't wait to read the rest of the book in the series. I do think she tends to romanticize the issue of abandonment just a little, but this is fiction so she has the right to do this. While I am sure it is possible for a family in China to keep abandoned children I do not...
I really enjoyed this book. As others have mentioned it is written rather simplistically (and contains far too many exclamation marks, an unfortunate pet peeve of mine) but even so the moral of the story is too beautiful for me not to have enjoyed it.

I totally enjoyed this book as I did the other two in the series. I fell in love with the characters, and I'm going to miss them now that I've finished the trilogy. These books are entertaining and educational. The plot moves quickly. I'll warn you that they're hard to put down once you've sta...
I really enjoyed the setting and story here. It was such a new world for me, and I found the culture very interesting. I learned a lot. The end was fairly predictable, but it didn’t matter much, because I wanted it to happen that way and the journey was interesting. I found it somewhat repeti...
