I enjoyed this. It's a good story about the power of a woman having women in her life to support her as she evolves physically, mentally, and emotionally. I just wish there was more background behind the descriptions of Chinese medical practices and beliefs.

I love Lisa See's books! Her descriptions of life in other times and places are so vivid in my mind as I read. This one might be my favorite....so far.
