(4) 4-6 Chosen by her Chinese village to seek wealth in New York, thirteen-year-old Suyin endures a horrific journey followed by the brutality of working in a sweatshop. Meanwhile, she is determined to prove herself worthy of the Crane Women Clan, an ancient and powerful sisterhood. This modern-day story of illegal immigration and human rights is somewhat confusingly blended with a supernatural element based on legend.
