The book presents the difficulties, the hopes, the dreams, the fears, and the sometimes crushing and overpowering feelings that were experienced when trying to bring three people from two totally different cultures into one family. This book deals openly and candidly with how differences in age and race and culture between two lovers both before and after they became husband and wife impacted their lives. It also shows the prejudice that exists in surprising places and in surprising ways, even within the same race. The daily chronicle of events after this family was finally together in America is heartwarming and refreshing. It is also true, and because it is told in first person just as it was written when the events happened, it is hard to put the book down. Ultimately this book tells the story of a love that would not be denied The story of an American man, a Chinese woman, and a Chinese girl whose bond became so strong that nothing could keep them from becoming a family. Within this beautiful love story is the compelling and touching story about a teenage Chinese girl who had never known a father. It tells how she came to love and accept a round eyed man who lived on another continent as her own father, and how he in turn came to love her as his own daughter. It also tells how in the end it was their devotion to each other and to the woman they both loved that helped overcome the most difficult obstacle they faced before they could finally fulfill their lifelong dream of having a warm and loving family. Comments by Readers The author expected that the book would appeal more to female readers, and he received rave reviews from them, even from Chinese women, such as: It is so sad ... . It is so happy ... I must to print pages again. My tears make ink run. I can not see words. But the comments from male readers were shocking to the author. Here are some comments from male readers: This book will make you laugh and it will make you cry. You will experience sadness and loneliness, happiness and despair. If you are not crying as you read the closing chapters in this book, then you have no emotion. Ok, I have printed and read the final chapters more than 5 times today. Thank goodness my fiancee] was at school lest she see tears streaming down my face each time I read them. I want to say it's just your eloquent writing -- but something else is at work here. Your writing is superb.| SKU | Unavailable |
