Falling Leaves: The True Story of an Unwanted Chinese Daughter

Trama

Snow White's stepmother looks like a pussycat compared to the monster under which Adeline Yen Mah suffered. Chinese proverbs scattered throughout the text pithily covey the traditional world view that prompted Adeline's subservience. Had she not escaped to America, where she experienced a fulfilling medical career and a happy marriage, her story would be unbearable; instead, it's grimly Falling Leaves is an Asian Mommie Dearest .
