Chun Ying Li arrives in Toronto, Canada in 1973 with her parents and four older sisters. Immediately, she is given a new name: Caroline. Living in Canada does not seem too challenging at first, except that her family moves around a lot, from the Super 8 to an old house with the caved-in ceiling. However, conflicts soon develop: with their colourful neighbours, school bullies, blonds, even her own family. To get away from it all, she tries out for the school production of The Wizard of Oz. When she ends up landing the part of a flying monkey instead of Dorothy, she realizes that she must figure out how to “win the part” in this new world or else forever be relegated to the fringes. Caroline obtains a scholarship to the most prestigious journalism school in the country and waves goodbye to her family, steeped in ancestral worship and Confucian values. But soon, she is haunted by childhood memories of prejudice, inadequacy, and abandonment. Caroline quickly discovers that ‘landing a part’ is not as simple as getting straight A’s. When neither romance nor worldly ambition fills the hole in her heart, Caroline takes an unexpected step, an act of total, blind faith. It is then that she begins to recognize the path of ‘breadcrumbs’ that has led her to the exact, right place. The place and Person of her destiny. , Kindle Edition, Format: Kindle eBook, Product group: eBooks, Published: 2018-08-13, Release date: 2018-08-13.
