Dreams of Joy by Lisa See
4.0

Although I found the premise that an American girl would really leave everything she knew to live in rural China a bit difficult to believe... the story itself is fascinating, and beautiful. I love how Lisa See explores female relationships from sisters in Shangai Girls to mother/daughter relationships in this book. I found her reader's guide where she included pictures of the places she used for inspiration absolutely fascinating! Don't put the book away without reading her guide!
