Effective story of a Chinese teen in Hong Kong gradually discovering the facts of her family still in China, through the letters from her mother smuggled to her in a precious heirloom box. The characters are reasonably interesting (although functional stereotypes of teens) and the story is compelling. Excellent introduction to the horrors of Mao's Revolution, for a generation that did not experience them. Has an LDS subtext, because some of the incidents are based on the life of a Chinese member, one of the early converts in Hong Kong, but the story can stand on its own. (

This is an amazing book about China and the years during and after Mao-Tse-tungs reign. Chen Wen-shan was sent to live with her great uncle in Hong Kong. After receiving a Jade box with letters in it written by her mother of the horrors they suffered does her uncle finally talk about his life. Very moving book. I am so glad that I won this from Goodreads. (
