The New York Times bestseller Adeline Yen Mah writes her compelling story of heartbreak. Chinese Cinderella: A True Story of an Unwanted Daughter shows how she goes through hard times and tries to stay strong.

LOVE THIS BOOK!
I LOVE this book. I've given this book to every kid I've babysit. all my neices & nephews, and my great-neices & great-nephews. It's a great book to give to them around age 7 when they can write pretty good and answer all the questions about themselves. Then hang on to the book and look back on when they are an adult. Great book! Highly Recommend!
