2014-02-19 01:35:17| Powells Books Events Calendar
Jenny Bowen's Wish You Happy Forever (HarperOne) tells the story of China's momentous progress in its treatment of orphaned and abandoned children. To this day, Bowen is the only Westerner working with the Chinese government to transform its entire child welfare system from the inside, and her Half the Sky Foundation, with 52 children's centers throughout the country, has helped more than 100,000 children. Bowen's beautifully written memoir, Wish You Happy Forever, teaches us that saving a child's life can transcend language and cultural barriers, and that, above all else, a determined dreamer with a loving presence speaks at the greatest volume.
