The Jade BraceletKregel Publications - 304 Seiten A heartfelt story of three women, bound together by family ties, yet torn apart by conflicts and differences. Elsa--lively, willful, and resentful of her mother's domination--struggles for acceptance on her own terms. Born in China, yet not Chinese; American, but foreign to America, she is torn by opposite cultures. Rachel, Elsa's stern mother, is a reluctant missionary and turns to Crystal, Elsa's daughter, for solace. Will a trip back to China and a long-lost jade bracelet bring reconciliation for the three women? |
