while the girl child is aborted. This book will bring forward the ugly side of china through the character Sya.
I am so looking forward to read it.
Ah, you will just love the story behind the title—I think it's brilliant! I hope you enjoy the book as much as I did. Thanks for commenting! :)

I think I will..because of such a strong plot. :)

Thanks for commenting! The book is actually historical fiction, but very worth the read. :)
I'm not a fan of historical fiction but I'm reading this one.

Due to your review, I just placed Donna Vincent Roa's "Five Knocks" on my to-read bookshelf! Thanks!

Like you, I also enjoy a historical fiction book that addresses difficult topics and their effects on multiple people. I look forward to reading this moving story!

Wowee! (That's a high brow literary term for "Yeehaw"!)

What a great review. It demonstrates the high caliber of the book, it's an author and it's reviewer. Your talent as a reviewer and enthusiasm for a great story comes bursting through your words. I'm putting a book I probably would have ignored on my " to read" shelf immediately.

Thanks for your attention to detail and child like enjoyment of the pastime we all love so much: reading.

Sincerely, LLR
And they sang a new song saying,
"You are worthy to take the book,
and to open its to seals,
for You were slain and have redeemed us to God,
by your blood, out of every tribe and tongue and people and Nation." Rev. 5:9
NKJ & KJV

This sounds like an amazing book, and you did a great job of not including any spoilers but making your review entertaining and interesting.
