Grade 5-8 A heart-warming novel of a Cu ban-American family's adoption of a Viet namese orphan air-lifted from Vietnam in the last few days of the American pres ence there. The story begins with another child informing the delicate, much-loved Mai that she is not the natural child of her parents, and she goes to her mother to ask the truth. In alternating chapters the story unfolds as a flashback to Mai's beginnings during the last part of the war, the death of her mother, the time in the Catholic or phanage and, by contrast, the story of the adoptive family's quest for a little girl. Oc casional black-and-white drawings are cross-hatched.
