During her lonely childhood in Shanghai, Adeline Yen Mah wrote
adventure stories to escape from her terrible step-mother and cruel
siblings. The characters she created often became more real to her
than her own family. In Chinese Cinderella and the Secret Dragon
Society, Adeline tells the story of Chinese Cinderella, a young
girl who, after being thrown out of her home, has no choice but to
go out and seek her own destiny. Soon she meets up with a group of
children, all orphaned but each from a different background, who
live with an old lady called Grandma Wu. Chinese Cinderella, or CC
for short, decides her future after consulting an ancient book
which helps to show her the way forward. And her choice takes her
on a mission to save the lives of others. Based on a true-life
incident during World War II. CC and the others bravely rescue a
group of American pilots whose plane crashed after a bombing raid
on Japan. Although her father is looking for her, CC knows that she
can never go back to live with her cruel stepmother, and now there
is no turning back.
