This international best seller gives you an up front and personal glimpse into what it was like to grow up in a Communist family under Mao. Follow this Chinese family's history through famine, denunciation meetings and separation. Ever think that the ideology of sharing everything and working together communally was the way to go? The harsh realities of this family's experience, as their ideology hits the tar of the road, will readily dispel the myth that Communism, at least as it was practiced under Mao, is a workable system of governance.
