Dreams of Joy by Lisa See

Another wonderful story by See.  This continued the story from Shanghai Girls and it was great!!  Joy had been very upset and went to China to find her father.  From there she traveled with him, ended up on a commune and did get married.  Pearl went to find her and had to be very patient, bend to the new rules of the time and ended up living in her old family home.  Much happened over the few years they were there, some of it quite shocking.  Knowing that this is historical fiction, it really stopped me in my tracks with some of the events that occurred.  See does a great job making the history come alive and really make you think about things that happened during that time period.
