Beloved49 (USA: NY) (2006/09/27):
It is a true story of an unwanted little girl. I liked it.
ATD (USA: NY) (2008/06/09):
I loved this book, so did all my friends who read it. What a story.
Katie (USA: WV) (2010/05/05):
I got this book when I was 9. I am now 20 and still love it. I must have read it over 200 times. It's a gripping story about a young unwanted chinese girl struggling to fit in to her family through the 1940-1950's. A couple parts made me tear up, but overall, it has a very powerful message to it - Even when others think you're not good enough, Never give up on yourself. A GREAT BOOK!

BOOK DESCRIPTION: "A Chinese proverb says, "Falling leaves return to their roots." In Chinese Cinderella, Adeline Yen Mah returns to her roots to tell the story of her painful childhood and her ultimate triumph and courage in the face of despair. Adeline's affluent, powerful family considers her bad luck after her mother dies giving birth to her. Life does not get any easier when her father remarries. She and her siblings are subjected to the disdain of her stepmother, while her stepbrother and stepsister are spoiled. 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.// Following the success of the critically acclaimed adult bestseller Falling Leaves, this memoir is a moving telling of the classic Cinderella story, with Adeline Yen Mah providing her own courageous voice."
