About this ebook
Sung Li, a young girl who longs for a family to love and accept her, tells the story of the historic 1906 earthquake. Through her eyes, readers learn about her difficult family life, about the loss many of the Chinese experienced during this period, about the devastation the city suffered, and about the human need for hope and new beginnings.
