This is, first and foremost, the true story of an unwanted daughter. In Chinese Cinderella, Adeline Yen Mah returns to her roots to give an authentic portrait of twentieth-century China as well as to tell the story of her painful childhood and her courage and ultimate victory over desperation and despair. After her mother dies giving birth to her, Adeline’s affluent, powerful family considers her bad luck. Life is by no means easier when her father remarries. She and her siblings face their stepmother’s disdain, while her half brother and half sister are spoiled. Although Adeline wins prizes at school, they are not what she really yearns for – the love and understanding of her family.
