ChristyB in TN Posted November 29, 2011 Share Posted November 29, 2011 I heard this author on NPR at some point and ordered the book, "Falling Leaves" immediately for my teenage daughter to read. Last week I was tearing through our library looking for something interesting to read and Madison grabbed it off of her shelf in her room and handed it to me. I could not put it down and finished it in 2 nights. My husband is reading it now and my teenagers want it next. Not only did I learn a tremendous amount about the difficulties of the Chinese during the last century, I learned an appreciation for the language and the characters used, which I am now learning thanks to the author's website and its resources where I can learn a character a day. Most of the greatest books I've read I learned about through you awesome people on this board, thought I'd share this one with you! http://www.amazon.com/Falling-Leaves-Unwanted-Chinese-Daughter/dp/0767903579/ref=sr_1_2?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1322575380&sr=1-2 http://adelineyenmah.com/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
