title: Chasing China: A Daughter's Quest for Truth
author:  Kay Bratt 
description: <span><span>Kay Bratt's haunting tale of a girl coming of age and new found discoveries is a book that will forever remain with me. Every street is vividly detailed, every step Mia takes you are there with her.--<i>Book Referees, January 2012</i></span></span> <br /><br />Chasing China was a beautiful story that many will love as much as I did. The story is engulfing and I found myself needing to know what Mia could find out about her history. I was rooting for her the whole time. The other characters as well are well-developed and all play a huge part in Mia's story.<i>--Lost in Literature</i><br /><br />Chasing China tells the tough story of adoption from China. A story that is tough and tender, bitter and sweet. As an adoptive mother myself, I felt very connected. We hope to build bridges between the home of our children and their homeland. This book is one of the tools that will help us doing so. <i>--Laotong, Amazon Reviewer, Feb 2012</i><br /><br />This past summer I went to China, and the feelings from way back when came rising to the surface. Like in the story, I also went to my orphanage and searched for pieces of my mysterious past. Everything that Mia felt I could perfectly relate to. Chasing China just happened to speak to me on a personal level.--<i>Book lover, Amazon Reviewer (age 14)</i><br /><br /><b><i>Chasing China </i></b>is an hauntingly beautiful story that is powerful and compelling, it begs to be read by readers who have an interest in the adoption process, and who embrace human interest stories. -Jersery Girl Book Reviews, 2012
