I was drawn to this book because I am interested in China, having been there many times, and also because we have many adopted children in my family.

The author did an beautiful job describing each of her daily experiences during her journey in China. Her experiences create some suspense that leads up to the adoption. Her observations about what she sees in China were detailed and interesting, almost like being there with her.

The author's description of the orphanage was heartbreaking. I was impressed with her point of view and tender emotions. She felt so strongly about the children she met, "for those left behind." She maintained a fair amount of cool and patience with her friend, who was really there for an adoption.

Since writing this book, the author has done amazing work through the Golden Phoenix Foundation.
