Zhang Yawen was born and raised in grinding poverty in the extreme

climate and isolation of rural Northeast China, an experience that imbued

her with a fierce desire to survive and to make something of herself. She

tells us of the hardships she endured to attend school as a girl living in the

wilderness, the tragic stories of her sisters, and her struggle to lift herself

out of a lifetime of drudgery to become a professional writer and reporter.

As a writer who came from one of the most disadvantaged corners of

Chinese society, Zhang offers the reader a view of the world which has

rarely been expressed in the English language. Her strength and grit can be

felt in every page.
