1940s, Shanghai. As the civil war rages on and China falls under communist rule, young Adeline lives in constant fear. Not of the war, but of her blame for the death of her mother, she is rejected by her father and abused by her cruel stepmother.
With the help of her aunt, Adeline escapes to the United States where she finds love, happiness, and success. But will that be enough to quell a lifelong yearning for acceptance, or will she return to the family that rejected her years ago
Falling Leaves Return to their Roots is both the enthralling story of a Chinese family in a time of political upheaval and a moving account of one girl's unrelenting will to survive.
