The author shares the story of her four years as a volunteer at an orphanage in rural China, the one-child policy that created hundreds of abandoned infants, and the children she came to know, love, and care for.

After an episode of prejudice rocks her secure world, Mia gets on a plane to China to search for details about her birth parents and confront the feeling of abandonment she has felt her whole life. As she follows the thread of her history in China she becomes enamored of the history and culture of her heritage. She resolves not to leave until she uncovers the truth of her birth. What she discovers will change her life.
