Amazon.com reviews:

"FIVE STARS! Adeline, you have done a wonderful job! This is one of the most moving books I have ever read. I was crying when I got to the bit where she was thrown out of the house. This is a very wonderfully written novel. It had funny parts and sad parts. You have taken me into the story and I felt as if I was actually CC. Thank you for writing this fantastic story."

"FIVE STARS!!! I read this book from cover to cover over one weekend: I couldn't put it down! I loved CHINESE CINDERELLA and was happy to see that Mah's irrepressible heroine, CC, is back in action. I learned so much about the struggles of the Chinese people during World War II and was so encouraged by the spirit, resourcefulness and open mindedness of her characters. Her books go a long way towards educating others about Chinese culture and promoting tolerance and acceptance among human beings. Publishers Weekly loved the book giving it a starred review and saying: "This gripping tale based on a true event meshes action and suspense with Eastern philosophy to create a provocative and educational read. CC emerges as a noble, compassionate heroine who finds a path to happiness by helping others." I couldn't agree more."
