Publisher's Synopsis
Like young women everywhere, Mei Lin longs for an education, a career-even love. But the system she lives in doesn't tolerate religious belief, and Mei Lin's faith is as profound as it is simple. Must she abandon her beliefs to have the life she's dreamed of?
In this astonishing debut novel, author Hope Flinchbaugh employs the unusual setting of today's China to draw readers into the landscape of the heart. The impact of Mei Lin's dilemma, and her surprising pathway to hope and joy, will linger in the mind long after the last page has been read.
