A charming book about a second-generation American's search for his family (past and present) and for himself in contemporary China. Highly recommended, especially for those interested in Chinese history and family journeys.

This is an enchanting book that readers will not be able to put down, and when they are finished they will ask why it wasn't longer. Will be of great interest to those looking for books on travel, history, and culture of the Himalayas, India, and the region. Highly recommended.

Beginning in 2011 and continuing until 2030, around ten million Indians will turn 18 each year and start their search for a college education, a job, and personal independence. This volume looks at a few individuals simultaneously succeeding and failing to find their way in modern India. Highly recommended for anyone interested in India past and present as well as women's issues. [See Prepub Alert, 9/28/15.]
