Chinese Cinderella is a true story about an unwanted girl, Adeline, who was considered to bring bad luck to the family as her mum died giving birth to her. During her childhood, her life became worse when her dad remarried. She and her siblings were badly taken care of or even abused by the stepmother while her step-siblings were spoiled. Adeline worked extremely hard to gain brilliant results and prizes in school hoping to draw her dad’s attention and love. Sadly, her dad was always busy for work and didn’t know much about her plight at home. With Adeline’s perseverance and diligence, she finally got into the university, studied Medicine and became a doctor. She also married and had her own loving family. The story was written in simple English so you will find it not that difficult. When you read the story you will have empathy with Adeline but you will be also impressed by her toughness. I believe no matter what difficulties you face in life, you will overcome them with time and your courage and mental toughness. Author: Mah, Adeline Yen, 1937- ISBN: 9780440228653 9780613340120
