By Ji-Li JiangI enjoyed this book, I enjoy books that teach me, I enjoy history and getting to see different sides of the story! I love real life happy endings!
Would I recommend it? yes to any one who loves history, or China. Also any child who is learning about the Chinese Cultural Revolution!
In 1966 Ji--li Jiang turned twelve. An outstanding student and leader, she had everything: brains, the admiration of her peers, and a bright future in China's Communist Party. But that year China's leader, Mao Ze--dong, launched the Cultural Revolution, and everything changed. Over the next few years Ji--li and her family were humiliated and scorned by former friends, neighbors, and co--workers. They lived in constant terror of arrest. Finally, with the detention of her father, Ji--li faced the most difficult choice of her life. Told with simplicity and grace, this is the true story of one family's courage and determination during one of the most terrifying eras of the twentieth century.
