Beautiful story told in verse of Kara, a Chinese girl abandoned at birth, saved by an American woman in China who‘s old enough to be her grandma...so many secrets Kara wants to unravel

I enjoyed this middle grade novel written in lyrical #verse , touching on identity, adoption, culture, among other themes..very heart warming.

Told in poems, this novel is about a young Chinese girl raised by an American woman staying illegally in China. She grappled with her identity and discovered that love knows no boundary. We get a glimpse of the adoption red tapes, a time when China has a one-child policy. The author‘s experience working for 8 years in China and her actual adoption experience added authenticity. I was moved by the beautifully told story.

Told in poems, this tells the story of young orphaned girl in modern-day China who is adopted by an American woman. It delves into the loneliness of a pre-teen trying to make sense of her mother‘s behaviour and discovers love knows no boundaries.
