Beautifully written story about two young girls from China who share their lives together by becoming pledged sisters. They share their secrets, emotions and thoughts with us as they experience the traditions of their culture: foot-bounding, arranged marriages & childbirth.
Absolutely loved the book! Students who want to explore the ancient traditions and the not-so ancient traditions of China would enjoy reading this book. Makes you truly appreciate being a 21st century woman.
