Summary
Even before Nancy McCabe and her daughter, Sophie, left for China, it was clear that, as the mother of an adopted child from China, McCabe would be seeing the country as a tourist while her daughter, who was seeing the place for the first time in her memory, was "going home." Part travelogue, part memoir, "Crossing the Blue Willow Bridge" immerses readers in an absorbing and intimate exploration of place and its influence on the meaning of family.
