title: The Jade Bracelet: A Novel
author:  Wilma Wall 
description: This novel is inspiring and educational as well as entertaining. It reminds us of the sacrifices of missionaries in the days before communication became everyone's right. It inspires hope in those seeking healthier relationships. It carries us into a world now lost, except in the memories of those who experienced it, thus preserving a slice of the past significant in our history. The Jade Bracelet is, in essence, a journey to peace, set in the fascinating world of old China. (Janice Dick <i>Mennonite Brethren Herald</i> 20070201)<br /><br />"Glimpses of the sacrifices and joys of missionary work, the difficulty of adjusting to a different culture, and the lack of acceptance in one's own American culture combine with an intriguing interpersonal and intergenerational story to create an insightful novel that will appeal to women readers of all ages." (Susan Dunman <i>Aspiring Retail</i> 20061101)<br /><br />"A novel rich in culture, character, and history." (Carolyn R. Scheidies <i>Author's Choice Reviews</i> 20061102)<br /><br />"Have you ever read a story that transported you to another time and place so completely that it was a physical shock to put the book down? Author Wilma Wall accomplished this goal for me with her latest book The Jade Bracelet . . . . The story keeps you enthralled all the way from China to California and back to China again, authentically viewing through a child's eyes and again through the eyes of an adult. Any woman can relate whether she has been a missionary or not, whether she has lived outside her home country or not. This book transcends locale and rests on relationships and learning to get them rightthree generations trying to do just that. I highly recommend this book and look forward to more from Ms. Wall."
