Meet the Singleton sisters, nine year old Emma, ten year old Samiee, and their friend, nine year old Lou Doyon, all adopted from orphanages in China. While the girls celebrate their cultural heritage and begin to explore their own identities, they must also confront the harsh truth that they were abandoned. The Globe calls it ''Soulful and haunting'' and the Courier says it ''... does a great job of showing the children's perspective...'' |
