4 posts | 2 read | 10 to read
Lalu Nathoy's father calls his thirteen-year-old daughter his treasure, his "thousand pieces of gold," yet when famine strikes northern China in 1871, he is forced to sell her. Polly, as Lalu is later called, is sold to a brothel, sold again to a slave merchant bound for America, auctioned to a saloon keeper, and offered as a prize in a poker game. Complete with photographs and documents, this biographical novel is the extraordinary story of a legendary pioneer's fight for independence and dignity on the American frontier.

A book about an amazing #Chinagirl . Did you ever have the emotion of a book stay with you when you can no longer remember the events in the book? I know I loved this book, immediately thought of it, but my memory of it is so cloudy. Maybe because I had a newborn and 1 year old at the time? #wanderingjune

LeeRHarry I read this one last year, it was hard to believe that so much could happen to one person, sad but true. (edited) 6y

A great insight into the life of a 19th century Chinese slave brought to America, and her amazing strength and resilience. Better than the typical western, and well worth the read!
