"Have your mother tell her story as you do is wonderful -- it is like sitting down with her and chatting." Mary Kramer

 

  "Annette and I just finished reading Shehong's book. It was interesting to see a peasant's perspective growing up in China. Annette had read Red Scarf Girl and Life and Death in Shanghai, both of which dealt with affluent city dwellers. The contrast was striking! She found it interesting to compare the different experiences the two classes experienced." Joseph Santomero
