Yes, I read that book about 2-3 weeks ago, and it was the hardest read of my life. But I am glad that I read it, as I feel it is important to know the conditions in orphanages in China. I know not all orphanages are like that, and our DD is from a Half the Sky orphanage and it seems that her care was quite good - but you only know as much as you are told. So you just never know. These kids are so resilient and amazing, though. The book was really sad at times, but also inspiring at other times.
