A story for young adult girls about a character named Xueyan. The story takes place in China, in 1921. She's sixteen years old and has no interest at all in marriage till she mets Baoshu. You'll enjoy reading what happens next. This is a quick read and very suitable for a book report.

A quick read.... the story of a teen-age girl who chooses her career over a man, and goes across the ocean to study.... and in the process, learns the fallacy of stereotypes.
