Synopsis
China Sky is a novel by Pearl S. Buck published in 1941. The story centers around love, honor, and wartime treachery in an American hospital in the fictional town of Chen-li, China, during the Japanese invasion. Air-raid warnings frequently force the town's residents, hospital staff and patients to evacuate to caves in the cliffs near Chen-li. Dr Gray Thomison grew up the only son of a wealthy American family and chose to build a hospital in Chen-li. He is the resident doctor in charge.

About Wonder Book
With 3 stores less than 1 hour outside the DC/Metropolitan area (1 in Gaithersburg, 1 in Frederick and 1 in Hagerstown, MD), we have the largest selection of books in the tri-state area. Wonder Book and Video has been in business since 1980 and online since 1997. We have over 1 Million books for sale on our website and another 1 Million books for sale in our 3 locations. We have a very active online inventory and as such, we can receive multiple orders for the same item. We fill those orders on a first come first serve basis, but will refund promptly any items that are out of stock. Since 1980 it has always been about the books. ALL kinds of books from 95 cent children\'s paperbacks to five figure rare and collectibles. A merging of the old and new is where we started, and it is where we are today. Our retail stores have always been places where a reader can rush in looking for a title needed for a term paper that is due the next day, or where bibliophiles can get lost \"in the stacks\" for as long as they wish. In 2002 USAToday recognized us as \"1 of 10 Great Old Bookstores\", and we have been featured in numerous other newspaper and TV stories including Washington Post and CSpan.
