A Chinese proverb says, "Falling leaves return to their roots."
In Chinese Cinderella, Adeline Yen Mah returns to her roots to tell the story of her painful childhood and her ultimate triumph and courage in the face of despair. Adeline's affluent, powerful family considers her bad luck after her mother dies giving birth to her. Life does not get any easier when her father remarries.
She and her siblings are subjected to the disdain of her stepmother, while her stepbrother and stepsister are spoiled. Although Adeline wins prizes at school, they are not enough to compensate for what she really yearns for: the love and understanding of her family. Read by the author.

“This book is dedicated to all unwanted children. I have always cherished this dream: of creating something unique and imperishable, so that the past should not fade away forever. I know one day I shall die and vanish into the void, but hope to preserve my memories through my writing. Perhaps others, who are also unwanted, may see them a hundred years from now, and be encouraged.” Adeline Yen Mah
Adeline’s story of growing up as the unwanted daughter in a large and multilayered family touched my heart in so many ways. Her story is one of courage, encouragement, resilience and true gritty determination to succeed despite all odds. It reminds us that although we may be unloved and unwanted by our own parents, there will be other significant people in our lives that we can learn from, be encouraged and inspired and valued by, while at the same time acknowledging the deep wound and lifelong pain such a rejection of belonging seers us with. Although in our lives as adults, we find our own people, our own path forwards, our own belonging, we continue to carry within ourselves the deep held fears that such childhood catastrophic rejection entails.
Adeline, in her own beautiful words uses wisdom and understanding to portray her journey. It is a journey of hope. Of inspiration. If optimism. Of survival.
I am truly grateful for the gift of this story, which she dedicated to all unwanted children. Thank you for brightening my mind with another candle of inspiration along my own journey as an adult survivor of being an unwanted child.
A heroic and inspiring story
