(4) 4-6 Yuming, a contemporary Chinese girl enslaved by a greedy sweatshop owner, and Clara, an American girl whose adopted Chinese sister has recently died, are connected by Yuming's desperate note, stuffed inside a purse found by Clara in a store. Inspired by a real news story, Polonsky sheds light on important issues in a novel that is moving even as the characters' lives intertwine a little too coincidentally.
