Fourteen-year-old Jess is only just coming to terms with her father's death in a car accident. Until now, she believed that her mother put aside the family's plan to adopt a daughter from China. But a year has passed, Xiao Ting is ready to be picked up from her orphanage, and Jess is having second thoughts.
Still walled up by grief, Jess is soon traveling to China accompanied by her mother, seven other families, and one energetic adoption facilitator. She faces many surprises and makes new, unexpected friends on her journey to China to meet her new sister, Xiao Ting. A story about how love, discovery, and understanding help the human spirit to triumph when it seems like all hope is lost. For children ages 10 and up.
