<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>Moving from the U.S. to China and back, here is a poignant true story of fatherhood, family, and one determined couples triumphant struggle to adopt a baby in a foreign land.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>Aching to expand from a couple to a family, Jeff Gammage--a reporter for the <em>Philadelphia Inquirer</em>--and his wife, Christine, embarked upon a journey that would carry them across a shifting landscape of emotion and through miles of red tape and bureaucratic protocol. On the other side of the world--in the smog-choked city of Changsha in Hunan Province--a silent, stoic little girl was waiting for them: Jin Yu, their new daughter. Now they would have to learn how to fully embrace a life altered beyond recognition by new concerns and responsibilities--and by a love unlike any they'd ever felt before.</p><p>Alive with insight and feeling, <em>China Ghosts</em> is an eye-opening depiction of the foreign adoption process and a remarkable glimpse into a different culture. Most important, it is a poignant, heartfelt, and intensely intimate chronicle of the making of a family.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"[A] moving geographic and psychological odyssey to China."--<em>USA Today</em><br><br>"A love story between father and daughter . . .
