Ten chapters, ten women, and many stories of heartbreak, including her own: Xinran takes us once again into the lives of Chinese women and their lost daughters. Whether as a consequence of the one-child policy, destructive long-standing traditions, or dire economic needs, these women were called to give up their daughters for adoption, some were forced to abandon them - on city streets, outside hospitals, orphanages, or at train stations - and others even had to witness their newborn daughters being taken at birth and drowned. Personal, direct, filled with sorrow but also hope, this book sends a heartbreaking message to Chinese girls who have been adopted, to show them what it was like for their mothers and to tell them that they were loved and will never be forgotten.
