Grace is adopted. Of the thousands of infant girls abandoned in China since the introduction of the one-child policy, she was one of the lucky ones, taken by a loving family to start a new life.
As a teenager growing up in the West, she is reluctant to dwell upon the parts of herself that make her different from her friends. But watching the Tiananmen Square massacre on television prompts her to begin exploring her ancestry, and bit by bit she begins to unlock the truth about the events
that led to her birth.
Told in part through the voices of Grace's ancestors, this is a gripping portrait of a family tree branching through cultural and political divides, and of a girl coming to terms with her own roots.
