"Mei-Ling is a trained journalist and writes a compelling, emotionally powerful story about being reunited with strangers, in a strange land, with strange customs — a total contrast to her comfortable, American way of life...Unforgettable."

Bill Duncan, columnist for the News-Review in his blog, The Elder Statesman

"I couldn’t put this book down. I knew that it might be a page turner so I waited to start it during the day so that I would not have to stay up all night. She is able to convey what she as an individual is feeling and also to understand viewpoints other than her own... The simple honesty of the book is compelling and I would recommend this book to anyone interested in the intricacies of family and family life especially those in the adoption community."
