It's interesting...while she never did write that book, she did write a memoir about her year there, called Little Sister. If your group is interested in reading more about China, that might be a good book to pick up. It's beautifully written. The author is Julie Checkoway.</p> A writing teacher I know went to China to investigate these “secret societies” of women…she’d gotten a book contract for it, before she went over to teach English for a year after graduating from the U. of Iowa Writers program.
