"If she (Ji-li Jiang) is an effective storyteller in her book, Ms. Jiang is even better speaking in person before an audience. Her presence gave vitality and validity to her writing. Her personal warmth, earnestness, grace and inner beauty radiate. Here is a story that needs to be shared, not only with young people, her desired principal audience, but adults as well. Here is an universal story of intelligence, loyalty, honor, acting on principles and values, love of family, and courage."
-- Lois T. Mui, President, Associated Chinese University Women, Inc.

-- Carol Chittenden, Past Chair, New England Children's Bookselling Advisory Council
