The Lost Daughters of China

From the touching preface to the evocative epilogue, Evans captures the hearts and minds of her readers with her own personal story of adopting a Chinese baby and with the frightening statistics which reveal that in China, six million women have given up their unwanted daughters.  Evans has nothing but pity for these women, however, and the reader comes away with nothing but as well.  By using statistics and her own story, she weaves a cross-cultural story that unleashes a torrent different emotions from the reader.  It is touching and shocking in its tales of Chinese women and their unwanted-by-the-government babies.   Overall, as Iris Chang writes, it is "Breathtaking--an unforgettable story."
