After her mother dies giving birth to her, Adeline's affluent, powerful family considers her bad luck. Life does not get any easier when her father remarries. She and her siblings are subjected to their stepmother's disdain, while her half brother and half sister are thoroughly spoiled. Although Adeline wins prizes at school, they are not what she really yearns for-- the love and understanding of her family.
I chose the book because it is a real life take on a well known fairytale and it will be interesting to learn more. I hope to learn about chinese culture and have any questions in my mind settled.
