Product Description
Bound to her late father's second wife and daughter. Bound to a life of servitude as a young girl in ancient China, where a woman is valued less than livestock. Bound to be along, with no parents to arrange for a suitable husband, Xing Xing spends her days taking care of her half sister, Wei Ping, who cannot walk because of her foot bindings, the painful tradition for girls who are fit to be married. Even so, Xing Xing is content ot practice her gift for poetry and calligraphy, and to dream of a life unbound by the laws of family and society.
