Description
A Canadian teacher traveling in rural China experiences the education of a lifetime—the kind that impacts the mind and expands the heart. Feel her horror as a bus approaches her head-on, her helplessness as she watches a man die, her humility as she receives unprecedented care from local people, and her heartbreak as she realizes she must leave China behind. Then discover with her, in Canada, the miracle of her survival.
About the author
Editorial Reviews
“Ramona McKean makes a truly great and important statement, not just about China but about the human race. She understands that our grandchildren’s future depends largely on understanding between Chinese and Westerners. Her gripping story powerfully reveals why and how this understanding is possible."- Sidney Rittenberg, Author of The Man Who Stayed Behind, Professor of China Studies at Pacific Lutheran University, and subject of the documentary “The Revolutionary”
