moves from suburban Georgia to Tai'an, a small town in Shandong Province in eastern China, she doesn't go alone. Her army husband and three young children, including an adopted Chinese daughter, uproot themselves too.
Aminta
hopes to understand the country with its long civilization, ancient philosophy, and complex language. She is also determined that her daughter Grace, born in China, regain some of the culture she lost when the Arringtons brought her to America as a baby.
