We all face adversity and I found Li-Yan an inspiration of carrying on and going with the life that comes your way. I was so happy with the end. I will check out the next book. Have a great week.

It certainly made me more aware of where my tea comes from, and how different the culture - it was more like "long ago" as opposed to fairly modern times. I agree that Haley's story was more open, and it was nice to read between the lines of her schoolwork to follow her life! I know alot of people don't feel the same about the benefits of tea, but I know it makes me feel better.....and that's a fact! Yes, the ending was abrupt, but it brought tears to my eyes. I wish there had been one more chapter, but I just had to write it in my mind. :-) Thanks for doing this book for the Book Club, and I enjoy your blog immensely!

But I LOVE Christmas books and have already got the next selection on my Kindle app, lined up to read so I'll be ready next month!Joyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14183723445145517680noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2167015610970367792.post-8730947459595734282017-12-04T09:35:47.231-05:002017-12-04T09:35:47.231-05:00And I will make one more comment, this one on the ...And I will make one more comment, this one on the topic of coincidence. I enjoy the "magic" of coincidence. Whether there is any greater meaning to it or not, I like to believe there is an invisible hand at work in the world. I enjoyed the movie _Slum Dog Millionaire_ which was entirely driven by the power of coincidence. It added a magical touch to the story, in my opinion.Lynnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11706199077139308873noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2167015610970367792.post-34660254665648390222017-12-04T09:29:50.601-05:002017-12-04T09:29:50.601-05:00I love this idea of having an online tea-themed bo...I love this idea of having an online tea-themed book group! I purchased this book but just did not find time to read it. I did,however, enjoy your review. I will save the book for summer reading.
