Although Adeline wins prizes at school, they are not enough to compensate for what she really yearns for - the love and understanding of her family. She and her siblings are subjected to the disdain of her stepmother, while her stepbrother and stepsister are spoiled. Life does not get any easier when her father remarries. Adeline's affluent, powerful family considers her bad luck after her mother dies giving birth to her. A Chinese proverb says, 'Falling leaves return to their roots.' In Chinese Cinderella, Adeline Yen Mah returns to her roots to tell the story of her painful childhood and her ultimate triumph and courage in the face of despair.
