About the Book

Much to her horror, the article detailed the conditions of Chinese orphanages where abandoned children often ended up in “dying rooms.” For Phillips, it was a call to action. She ventured to the Chinese city of Zhaoqing, where she climbed the stairs of a prison like, cement building. On the fourth floor, she entered a world like no other. The orphanage smelled of urine and feces. The eyes of the abandoned children haunted Phillips.

But one child touched her heart more than the others – a girl named Yu Yan – Phillips was determined to adopt her. For Phillips -and the girl – the odyssey was just beginning.
