William Eng is a 12 year old Chinese American boy who has lived in the Sacred Heart Orphanage for the last 5 years. This was the last time he had seen his mother. When the orphanage takes the boys out for the annual birthday celebration, William gets a glimpse of who he believes is his mother. She is an actress going by the name of Willow Frost.
William is determined to find out if this is really Liu Song, his mother. He navigates the streets with his friend Charlotte in search of the truth.

The story is set between the 1920's and the Great Depression and switches between the two timeframes. What results is a heart wrenching story of love, hope, and forgiveness.

I really enjoyed this story. While it was a sad story, most of the time, the ending was really heart warming. I'm happy that my first read was a 5 star rating.
