In this book, Karin Evans explores the emotional and political complexities of an international phenomenon that creates families across the boundaries of culture and geography. She describes the trying but often comic interncontinental journey in which she and her husband trekked with seventeen other families from Hong Kong to the Pearl River Delta to meet their daugters. At Once a compelling personal narrative and an evocative portrait of contemporary China, this book investigates the country’s legacy of lost daughters. In a sensitive and moving look at the unprecedented mixing of two cultures, she deftly weaves together the tales of the children themselves with the mystery of their anonymous Chinese families who remain in the shadows. Illuminating the real-life stories behind the statistics, the Lost Daughters of China is an unforgettable account of the red thread that winds from China’s orphanages to hearts around the globe
