Adeline and her siblings are subjected to the disdain of her stepmother, while her stepbrother and stepsister are spoiled with gifts and attention. Although Adeline wins prizes at school, they are not enough to compensate for what she really yearns for -- the love and understanding of her family. Like the classic Cinderella story, this powerful memoir is a moving story of resilience and hope.\n\nIncludes an Author's Note, a 6-page photo insert, a historical note, and the Chinese text of the original Chinese Cinderella.\n\nA PW BEST BOOK OF THE YEAR\n\nAN ALA-YALSA BEST BOOK FOR YOUNG ADULTS\n\n“One of the most inspiring books I have ever read.” –The Guardian\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 0385740077\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: RDV.0385740077.VG\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Very Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Mah, Adeline Yen\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: This book is in excellent condition.
